Faster will depend entirely on what you run on the machine. Each OS is
better/worse in different areas, and the taskload is unpredictable,
so...

Overall, I bet that in a "blind shell test" (think Pepsi challenge),
very few people (no one?) could distinguish which BSD they were on by
speed of response. (but output formats/content would give things away
for those in the know.)

You know which list you asked on though, so you know what response to
expect ;-)
