I suggest that you benchmark recent versions of both (say FreeBSD-current
vs. Linux-current). FreeBSD fork/exec perf has gone up significantly,
among other things. Please compare equivalent vintages.

Note also that the Byte/Lmbench benchmarks DO NOT measure systems under
significant VM load. Remember, simple algorithms work quickly until
you actually use them.
