Linux 6.18 LTS vs. Liquorix Kernel On AMD Ryzen Threadripper Workstation Performance

Written by Michael Larabel in Software on 8 January 2026 at 10:00 AM EST. Page 4 of 5. 16 Comments.

Linux 6.18 upstream was performing better than Liquorix when it came to the ChaCha20 OpenSSL benchmarks but that difference evaporated for the other algorithms tested.

Pogocache all

The upstream kernel did perform much better than Liquorix for the Memcached and Pogocache in-memory database workloads on this workstation.

The upstream Linux 6.18 LTS kernel was also slightly faster in the Cryptsetup benchmarks.
