Intel Core i5 OS X 10.8 vs. Ubuntu Linux

Benchmarking a mid-2011 Intel Sandy Bridge Mac Mini with Core i5 processor when changing out operating system each time of Apple OS X 10.7.4, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and then Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the Linux 3.2 kernel and then the Ubuntu 12.10 development snapshot with the Linux 3.5 kernel and other newer packages. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
