I don't know where thetre is any proof as such, but certainly the
consensus is that FreeBSD is better than the 2.2 Linux kernel at high
loads. (And I know of no Linux devotee who would deny this). But the 2.4
kernel will drastically cut back FreeBSD's lead. Really it all depends
on what you mean by "high traffic" and whether you're ready to go to 2.4
in a production environment. (If you do, please let me know how it holds
up!)
From the last discussions I had with them, the Linux Journal folk were
considering whether to run with a pre-release version of 2.4, so they
may have made the switch by now. And that's not what I'd call a quiet
site.
Maybe you should drop them a line?
