i've been running ubench extensively these days on two identical machine...
This the main points of the configuration:

CPU:     Pentium IV 2.26GHz 533/512
MEM:     RIMM800 MHz * 512MB on two banks
HDD:     Quantum Fireball AS30.0 ATA100
MB:      Asus P4T533C 1005

OSes:    FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE / Gentoo Linux 1.2

FreeBSD: a custom kernel was built,
         including builtin support for the only hardware present.
         the sources have been updated at the yesterday state.
         a make world and kernel has been performed.
         ABI Linux enabled
         Filesystem: UFS+S and rw,async mount (ata.wc=1)
         some "standard" sysctl tweaks.

Gentoo   kernel vanilla-2.4.19SMP + xfs 1.1 (beta)
         a custom kernel was built,
         including builtin support for the only hardware present.
         the sources have been updated at the yesterday state.
         the equivalent of a make world and kernel has been performed.
         Filesystem: XFS1.1+osyncisdsync noatime mount (agcount=3
logsize=64MB)


here's a mean of a 5 run ubench on the singles result:

Gentoo
CPU:         90098
MEM:         94978


FreeBSD
CPU:         77491
MEM:         93379

Someone can help me pondering the hypotesys/results?
Thank you.
