The Linux machine has an Intel Core2 Duo CPU (E6550 @ 2.33GHz) with 2GB RAM.
I don’t remember which FreeBSD machine I used… Most probably it had a Dual Core AMD Opteron CPU (270 @ 2.0GHz) with 8GB RAM, or an AMD Opteron CPU (244 @ 1.8GHz) with 4GB RAM.

What is the unit of time mentioned in the table? (e.g. is it 12.08 ms?)

It will be useful to know this.
