Is there anyone, or maybe this subject has been brooched once before, who
shed some light on the differences of the FreeBSD and Linux ports? In
particuler, which version is faster.

If you are running Linux, then of course that one is faster.

However, if you are running FreeBSD, then you already know that it is
faster.

*grin*

I am not aware of any controlled tests done to compare the two wrt
PostgreSQL. So the starting hypothesis *must* be that they are both
equivalent in speed on the same hardware. Any differences would be at
the OS level, and it would be difficult to go from a list of
architectural or implementation differences to a claim for speed
superiority, without realistic testing.
