Phoronix benchmarks PCLOS against Ubuntu 10.04 RC

And they call Ubuntu slow

In a number of the tests, the performance between PCLinuxOS 2010 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS were neck-and-neck, but Ubuntu did possess some strong leads in the area of OpenGL performance, PostMark, and GraphicsMagick. The only wins that PCLinuxOS had over Lucid Lynx were with Apache and NAS Parallel Benchmarks.

 

Why, does PCLOS have a reputation for being a fast distro?

 

Nope but everyone calls Ubuntu bloated, PCLOS is based on Mandriva which is no slouch by itself and neither is PCLOS.
