The application I have in mind for Darwin is high-frequency trading. I haven't heard of it being used in this scenario, all I hear is Linux.
I wonder, what OS does Apple use to run their iTunes, MobileMe, etc. services. If not Mac OSX then why?
The last time I measured it, Linux blows MacOSX out of the water for UDP
latency, which is what really matters for HFT (like by a factor of 2 or
more). There are several vendors (including my company) that sell UDP
offload solutions, which gets the UDP latency down even further (like
in 3us range, wire to app). However, these solutions are generally
linux or Windows focused (Myricom DBL, Solarflare, etc).
