Compiling a certain large (40,000+ lines) C++ program, I've found that
Linux takes 31:22 to compile it, while FreeBSD 1.0 Epsilon takes 31:42
on the same system, same disks, etc.

Granted, this isn't number crunching, but it does show the two systems
tend to be about the same speed for what I tried.  Older versions of
BSD might be slower (I know that the Gamma version took about 2-3
minutes longer).
