Like the BlogBench results, with CompileBench the EXT4 file-system on Ubuntu was much faster than HFS+ on Apple Mac OS X. The speed is slightly faster with Mac OS X 10.7 than found in Snow Leopard for this Intel Mac Mini.
The 7-Zip compression performance had regressed with the original Mac OS X 10.7 Developer Preview and it has moved forward some with this second preview release, but it's still behind the original Mac OS X 10.6.6 release where it's also about the same speed as Ubuntu 10.10.
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion DP2 regresses a bit with its FFmpeg video encoding performance, but the original preview release was right in line with Mac OS X 10.6.6 and Ubuntu 10.10.
