Matt Dillon announced DragonFly BSD nearly 20 years ago on July,16 2003
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE was announced Nov 25, 2009
You’re talking about events that took place over 13.5 years ago.
On the benchmarks:
Where are the Apache, NginX, PostgreSQL and Redis benchmarks?
Where are the measurements of network performance?
>Where are the measurements of network performance?
You'd have to ask Larabel about that. But given that Dragonfly can seemingly trade blows with FreeBSD *18 years later* does seem to suggest there's some merits to their design
But FreeBSD took the mainstream approach.
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/performance/ Has one from 2012 and an update 2018 with a Threadripper 2990WX, though there is no comparison chart..
Oh.. here is a benchmark [0] from 2021, Dragonfly performs comparably with Ubuntu and FreeBSD 13 on an intel core i9 of some type. I have no idea whether these benchmarks reflect real world performance. I also don't know where and how much Dragonfly is used in 'production'.
