Disclaimer: I'm not an expert with FreeBSD or MySQL. The Linux kernel used is not a "stable release" whereas FreeBSD is (although I'm not aware of any significant performance improvements over the 2.6.24 kernel -- 2.6.25-rc4 is simply what I have installed on the machine). Compilers were different versions of gcc-4.2, MySQL code base and compile options were slightly different due to being compiled from ports on FreeBSD. In other words, I can't say definitively that Linux is faster than Free
Well, it's actually taken the Linux developers more than 12 months to get to this point, which is a little longer than 5 minutes:). I have been in contact with Nick and he had trouble replicating the older results, so it is possible that his system is still not configured properly on the FreeBSD side. Even if it turns out that the next Linux kernel fixes the performance deficit, then that's fine too. Ultimately both kernels will have to asymptote to the same performance anyway, assuming both are efficie
