Benchmarks results for Compilers on FreeBSD 11

[Erich Dollansky]

Hi,

Micheal continued:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FreeBSD-OpenMP-Base

I just wonder if not enabling an option in base because the option is
not required in base would make the documentation of the program
useless except it is documented. The problem here is now that e.b. I
look typically for information of a program at the program's site. I
do not think that they care there what FreeBSD makes out of the
program.

With other words, it creates confusion.

Erich
