I see this a lot. Do you know of any good benchmarks comparing FreeBSD to Linux with similar hardware and whatnot?

As a user of FreeBSD and Linux, int's not the benchmarks of FreeBSD that draws me to it - it's the reliability. My FreeBSD firewalls just work, while my Linux ones need a reboot now and then.
