Yeah I was thinking about cache as well.

It also seems unfair to compare Ext4fs on Linux with ZFS on FreeBSD. Ubuntu ships with ZFS included. There's also Btrfs.

Also, its known that Netflix uses FreeBSD internally, and I'm curious why.

I think it's pretty fair to test each OS with its filesystem of choice. I'm aware that you can use ZFS on Linux, but I'm not (yet) brave enough to recommend ZFS+Linux. And yes there's btrfs but would you trust it with your data ? :)

ZFS is bundled into the Antergos Linux installer.

I think pacman can get you their PostgreSQL package easily enough.

I have screenshots at the end of this (unpublished) article:
