Wow, the difference between the FreeBSDs and Linux performance is amazing and for those
looking at the first time on such benchmarks not knowing much about the turbo boost issue
one would definitely choose the faster one :-(

I'd appreciate results of a benchmark considering no boost and with a light sched on the
scheduler (doesn't Linux have a very sophisticated scheduler dealing/scaling very
efficient with lots of threads/cpu cores? This could also be a very interesting benchmark
pointing to AMDs new Epyc platform comprised also from lots of cpu cores).

Kind regards,
