Why are you trying to make an anonymous comparison? It is obvious
you are running Linux 1.3.87 as "Unix A" and FreeBSD 2.0.5 as "Unix B".

A *little* questionable? I'd say the benchmark is completely
useless. Comparing code that was released today with code that was
released a year ago proves nothing. Try running at least a stable
snapshot of FreeBSD, or better yet a -current release.
