BSD vs. Linux Workstation 29 EPYC AMD Benchmarks

First up with the common SQLite embedded database benchmark running on the Intel DC NVMe SSD, FreeBSD 12.0 with ZFS was running up right against Feodra Workstation 29 atop EXT4. DragonFlyBSD 5.4.1 using its HAMMER2 file-system also performed well and did better than Clear Linux, CentOS 7, and openSUSE Leap for this basic storage benchmark.

With the BlogBench test that simulates the load of running a blog web server, the BSDs performed worse off than most of the Linux distributions but did come out ahead of Debian. openSUSE Leap and CentOS 7 -- both on XFS -- did well in the read tests while the write tests favorited Debian 9.8 and Fedora Workstation on EXT4.
