I am so stunned by this comment I don't know where to begin.
You left your thinking cap at home today didn't you?
You "KNOW" that bsd unix outperfoms vms do you? What is the
basis of this "KNOWLEDGE".  If you have this "KNOWLEDGE",
as you claim, then why are you posting this request.

VMS interfaces "are quite bad" ?  REALLY!  I have worked
with both UNIX and VMS for many years and whereas VMS
does have its weakness, I don't think that any sentine

are 

All I need are plain figures (not opinions) obtained in
a machine able to run both (say, a vax 750). For instance
number of interrupts caused by buffered i/o, paging,
system calls, total number of interrupts, etc.

Maybe timing of some typical programs...
