Ok... I run a network of 40 someodd dual P6 class (ppro or higher) 
machines split evenly between linux and freebsd.  The Freebsd 
machines run CIRCLES around the linux boxen.  Infact the only reason 
we haven't switched completely to freebsd is the fact that our chief 
programmer doesn't trust the freebsd linux compatibility shim.  We 
need the shim because some bozo decided to run all of the oracle 
stuff on linux/intel not solaris/sparc.

This entire discussion has been about perception.  if you want 
benchmarks/etc go someplace else.  Those kinds of (quasi?)logical 
arguments are shunned here.  Not to mention that benchmarks are 
RARELY a true indication of real world performance.
