Hi,

Link: https://www.phoronix.com/review/bsd-linux-threadripper-7980x/3

The following six benchmarks show FreeBSD 14.1 performed poorly compared 
to other OSes:

[ 4.3x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: Socket Activity -- 3,569 (FreeBSD) vs 
15,267 (CentOS Stream 9)
[ 2.9x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: Glibc Qsort Data Sorting -- 779 
(FreeBSD) vs 2,224 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)
[ 2.2x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: AVX-512 VNNI -- 3,626,943 (FreeBSD) 
vs 8,253,203 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)
[ 1.5x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: CPU Cache -- 2,322,478 (FreeBSD) vs 
3,557,329 (NetBSD)
[ 1.5x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: Fused Multiply-Add -- 63,639,465 
(FreeBSD) vs 96,258,730 (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS)
[ 1.3x slower ] Stress-NG 0.17.08: Semaphores -- 230,741,240 (FreeBSD) 
vs 313,648,228 (DragonFlyBSD)

Does anyone know why, and how we can improve the numbers?

Cheers,
Yonas
