I think might have read the graph backwards or I'm misinterpreting your
statement.  The BSD's have a monopoly on low performance gzip meaning they
aren't as fast as the Linux counterparts.  That's not much a fs benchmark
though as it's mostly a cpu bound operation and the various improvements to
gcc and other bits allows Linux to clearly beat out the BSD's.
