benchmarks

When I posted Gregory McGarry's benchmark recently, a lot of (FreeBSD :)
people cried that microbenchmarks are useless, and "real life" benchmarks 
should be used. Well, as sort of an answer, I've collected a few data 
points on this whole issue:

  * "Micro"benchmark between NetBSD 2.0 and FreeBSD 5.3:
    http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/gmcgarry/
  * Memory/File performance comparison between NetBSD 2.0, OpenBSD 3.6
    and Fedora Core 3:

  * Internet2 speed records:
