👁 PyPerformance benchmark with settings of Benchmark: json_loads. Clear Linux 43250 was the fastest.
Clear Linux did squeeze out some additional wins within the Python scripting benchmarks. Clear Linux was using Python 3.13 like Ubuntu 25.04 and Fedora 41/42, but the Intel distribution still managed to squeeze some additional performance out thanks to its optimized defaults.
Clear Linux also scored a stellar victory within PHPBench for its PHP performance. The significant PHP win for Clear Linux comes down to Intel making use of Profile Guided Optimizations (PGO) and the like when building its PHP package.
