well, my usage pattern is write a big file and few seconds later read it. So my tests
were valid for the use of the computer.
But you have reason, I must provide a more formal report. I redid all test
with bonnie++ and results shows Linux (56848 K/sec) two times faster than
FreeBSD (26347 K/sec)
Any help will be appreciated!
