Howdy Data Folks - Benchmarking R/Python workflows on #FreeBSD 14.1 and #Debian Stable (12.5) on an 8-core Intel machine. Performance in R is comparable (R is faster on FreeBSD, but it isn't statistically significant). But latency for Python 3.9.18 on FreeBSD is terrible compared to Debian. It gets worse the more CPU cores you use. This was unexpected (for me). Is this a known issue with Python 3.9 on FreeBSD?
@kta Python 3.10 and above got large performance improvements. Maybe here is the reason? FreeBSD 14.1 on the current branch uses 3.11 version of Python. And the difference in performance is visible. 😉
@thindil Thanks, that makes sense. I'll run it through the crank on 15.0 next and see if that does it.
