An article which describes the concepts and helps understand the results
|

|
|
|
can be found in the doc directory (/usr/local/lib/bytebench/doc if you use
|
|
|
|
|
a PREFIX of /usr/local).

This benchmark is quite prominent among Linux users, and there is a patched
|
1998-08-05 18:13:19 +00:00
|
|
|
version available from some web suite from where results are made available,
|
1996-01-02 22:08:35 +00:00
|
|
|
too.

Since they offer some results of non-Linux systems for comparison, they might
|
|
|
|
|
be interested in FreeBSD reports, too ;-)
