I can't find the testresult in my benchmark.:
My benchmachine: 486/33 MHz, Eisa, 16MB DRam
BSD0.9 : setup as latest distribution
max. 188 context switches / sek.
can't get CPU idle state less then 89%
this machine don't use free menory for buffering
Reason for this:
The machine works as NFS-Server
has one HD 1GB with 1742B controller, kernel, news, ...all on one HD
and we have to use NE2000 drivers witch don't use the interrupt
(they use polling !!!!)
because no other of our ISA-ethernet-card (WD, SMC, 3COM)
works on our Eisa-motherboard.
The most time this machine is loading executables, and data
because there is no cache, no shared libraries, no ?...
Result: The BSD0.9 is 4 times slower than my private setup with Linux.
This system might be fast, but we have no advantage,
we can only use 12% of CPU performance, and 70% of memory.
Next to do: Replace this BSD and this CPU-Platform.
