phoronix test, openssl bad performance

[Xose Vazquez Perez]

hi,

In the openssl test, Solaris is 2.4X times faster than Linux.

The hardware was:
ThinkPad T61 with Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 + 2GB RAM

OS (all 32-bit):
Build 127 of OpenSolaris 2010.02 with 5.11 kernel + GCC 4.3.2
Fedora 12 Linux 2.6.31 kernel + GCC 4.4.2
Ubuntu 9.10 Linux 2.6.31 kernel + GCC 4.4.1

"All operating systems were left with their default options during
the installation process and left with the default set of packages
for each operating system except for the obvious need to install
some dependencies for the different tests."

In Linux, it means AppArmor/SELinux and audit enabled, and etc...

the test:
openssl-0.9.8k, compiled with ./config no-zlib; make
command: $ openssl speed rsa4096 -multi $NUM_CPU_CORES


results: http://www.phoronix.com/data/img/results/freebsd8_benchmarks/20.png

Solaris     72.67 sign/s
Linux     ~=30    sign/s
(FreeBSD    20.3  sign/s)
