Those are my numbers.It was running during my normal work : 10 x Xterm in one of them is ogg123 playing song 1 x FF3 with 7 tabs 1 x Pidgin with 5 tabs 2 x rdesktop to Win servers 1 x ssh connection to company server 1 x vpnc softdep is on on all partitions
I don't think that those numbers are bad,because ports.tar.gz has a lot of small files.And I use OpenBSD for many good reasons like stabitilty,security,quality,community and documentation.So if sometimes it's slower then other OS's I don't care if it isn't a bug ;-) $ uname -a OpenBSD hexempo.eu.tieto.com 4.5 GENERIC.MP#78 i386 $ $ dd if=/dev/arandom of=test.dat bs=1024 count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 10240000 bytes transferred in 0.106 secs (96246029 bytes/sec) $ $ time tar xzf ports.tar.gz 2m19.16s real 0m1.41s user 0m5.45s system $ 2009/4/23 Thomas Pfaff <tpf...@tp76.info>: > On Thu, 23 Apr 2009 18:40:53 +0200 > Claudio Jeker <cje...@diehard.n-r-g.com> wrote: >> ext3 and ffs are very different.
