Benchmarking

[Ivan Voras]

Some time ago I had a plan to benchmark several OS'es for fun&learning. As 
it turned out, due to the lack of time the process was very slow. I intend 
to do DragonFlyBSD next, so I'm asking: what would be the best way to 
install it? Download the bootable ISO (from 
http://www.dragonflybsd.org/main/download.cgi) and then upgrade to -current 
via cvs? Is there a somewhat step-by-step walkthrough of the process since, 
as I understand it there is no install/setup program?

Also, if anybody has some performance-related patches, now would be a good 
time to commit them to CVS :)

(Current results are in http://geri.cc.fer.hr/~ivoras/osbench/osbench.sxc; 
Summary: FreeBSD 5.2 is slower in synthetic tests but appears surprisingly 
better in a "real-world" test than 4.9).
