 As he has not even documented all the parameters:  Ignore him.

The fact he doesn't give all parms doesn't mean Linux could not have a
performance problem.    And  one thing is sure we have a propaganda problem
since the BSD people will mention this for ten years.  So better to solve both
problems than ignoring them.

In all due fairness the propaganda out there is overwhelmingly in favor of Linux.
Not to mention that its user base is close to 10x that of *BSD.
