I don't know of any comparable distro-benchmarking from the past.

	I'm not surprised that the people behind Phoronix did not point fingers
at Ubuntu, but rather tried to figure out what pieces making up a distro
could be the most likely causes for slowdowns in certain areas.

	While the editors are more technically than the normal user "from the
street", these users will point fingers at Ubuntu, because they usually
don't know better (due to the lack necessary insight) ... and they
should not need to do so in the first place.

I'll try to get so more information about their findings.

Best regards ...
