I don't know why >there should even be much difference. Because David Greenman and John Dyson have beat on the VM and I/O system *heavily* to improve the performance of FreeBSD. The VM system in FreeBSD is NOT 4.4lite anymore, but a brand-new system almost completely re-written. In FreeBSD 2.1, it has changed even more, and is now merged with the buffer cache to improve performance even more. Expect even greater performance when 2.1 is released.
