Gromacs was failing to build on DragonFlyBSD but with GhostBSD/FreeBSD at least its performance was comparable to Ubuntu 20.04.
The PoargreSQL database server when encountering reads and writes was the fastest on FreeBSD 12.01 followed immediately by Ubuntu 20.04 while DragonFlyBSD and GhostBSD were much slower. In the read-only scenario, Ubuntu 20.04 was the fastest on EXT4 but fell hard with ZFS. DragonFlyBSD 5.8 was the second fastest in a pure read-only database mode.
When ramping up the connections for a hevy contention scenario with PostgreSQL, Ubuntu 20.04 began to exhibit stronger performance than the tested BSDs on the Intel Cascade Lake system.
