1. Where are compiler options for BSDs?

fast math in some, and disable it for others?
3. Why they don't mention powerd setup for FreeBSD? By default it may use
slowest CPU mode. Did they even load cpufreq kernel module?
4. Did they even care about default FreeBSD mitigations (via sysctl)
enabled, or it's only valid for Linuxes? ;)
5. What happened to security and environment details of BSDs?
It's kinda known that guys from Phroenix lack basic knowledge of how to do
proper performance testing and lack basic knowledge about BSD systems.
Nothing new. Would take these results with a grain of salt.
It is very simple - they are comparing OSes with setting they are
shipped. Average users don't know about tuning so the benchmark is
reflecting what many average users get.
And to be honest - I don't think FreeBSD will win even with everything
best tuned.
