  Here is one problem: we have choice from three items:

(1) Make FreeBSD looks good on benchmarks by "fixing" FreeBSD

(2) Make FreeBSD looks good on benchmarks by "fixing" Phoronix
(communication with them, convincing, that they benchamrks are unfare
/ meaningless, ets)

(3) Lose [potential] userbase.

  You know, that these benchmarks are bad. I know. But potential (and
 even some current!) user doesn't. And it seems, that these benchmarks
 become popular over Internet.
