DragonFly faster than linux or FreeBSD?

[Steve Mynott]

On the same aging laptop (P2/366/192Mb with kern.mmxopt=1) I have ran 
FreeBSD 5, Linux (Fedora) and DragonFly.

Although, its not scientific and quite subjective I have had the 
distinct impression that both KDE (3.2.1) and Java (Native FreeBSD) are 
noticably faster on DragonFly than the other systems.

ISTR someone on IRC [*] also saying they thought KDE was faster on 
DragonFly as well.

The FreeBSD 5 result is perhaps no surprise but the Linux one was (maybe 
resulted from different KDE versions/graphic drivers).

Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

Steve
