"Ubuntu 6.06 To Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Performance Benchmarks: 10 Years Of Linux Performance
As I'm in the process of retiring an old AMD Opteron dual-socket system, prior to decommissioning it, I figured it would be fun to go back and re-benchmark all of the Ubuntu LTS releases going all the way back to the legendary 6.06 Dapper Drake release. So here are some fresh benchmarks of this AMD Shanghai system with eight cores and 16GB of RAM when re-benchmarking the releases from Ubuntu 6.06 through the latest Ubuntu 16.04 LTS development state."

On the last page, page 8, we find
"This round of testing was largely driven by curiosity sake in seeing how the Ubuntu Long-Term Support releases have evolved over the past decade. For the most part, running the same code-bases on the same hardware with a newer version of Ubuntu Linux is noticeably faster than the Ubuntu releases particularly from 6~10 years ago."
