actually FreeBSD defaults are actually good for COMMON usage. and can be tuned.
default MAXBSIZE is one exception.
"Common usage" is vague. While FreeBSD might do ok for some applications (dev
box, simple workstation/laptop, etc), there are other areas that require additional
tuning to get better perf that arguably shouldn't as much (or there should be templates
for doing so): 10GbE and mbuf and network tuning; file server and file descriptor,
network tuning, etc; low latency desktop and scheduler tweaking; etc.
still any idea why MAXBSIZE is 128kB by default. for modern hard disk it
is a disaster. 2 or even 4 megabyte is OK.
Not to say that freebsd is entirely at fault, but because it's more of a
commodity OS that Linux, more tweaking is required...
actually IMHO much more tweaking is needed with linux, at least from what
i know from other people. And they are not newbies
