Re: Benchmark (Phoronix): FreeBSD 9.0-RC2 vs. Oracle Linux 6.1

http://wiki.freebsd.org/DefaultDebuggingKnobs

I am not aware of any linux distribution that comes with debug enabled =
by default, even on RC releases.

It seems that this approach (debug by default) is welcome to help solve =
problems that might appear,  but I would be happy if these benchmarks =
were made without such config (debug) enabled.
