“With Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 having made it out
yesterday, we couldn’t resist but to run some new benchmarks of the
Lucid Lynx after our original tests last month found Ubuntu 10.04
was off to a poor performance start. In some areas the performance
of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Alpha 2 remains lower than in Ubuntu 9.10 —
largely due to performance regressions upstream in the Linux kernel
— but we have also included some very early performance numbers
from Fedora 13.“While Ubuntu’s Lucid Lynx has already had two development
releases, Red Hat has not yet put out any development releases for
Fedora 13. The first and only alpha release of Fedora 13 is planned
for the middle of February while a beta release will come at the
start of April and then the final release will enter the world
towards the middle of May, assuming there are no delays. With that
said, Fedora 13 is still heavily in development and will certainly
change a lot between now and then (especially with how closely they
follow some packages and their upstream involvement), but we have
included benchmark numbers from the 2010-01-13 nightly compose
desktop image of Fedora Rawhide.”
