Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I've seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

Yeah, I like Nick but benchmarking isn't his forte. In all the articles and videos I've come across, most distros perform similarly, usually within the margin of error for most games. I can't imagine any set of optimizations that would lead to a performance increase on the level of a gpu upgrade. It doesn't make sense.

Wendell talks about cachy quite a bit, I wish he'd do some testing but I'm sure he's already busy enough.
