Hello, Iam confused on the different result I get when I compile userland on any machine better then a Dual Core 2.5Ghz 2GB RAM 160GB 7200 SATA / SATA ii
On some machines I get a compile time of 45min, other machines 30min.. and the best of the case I get 30min. Sometimes that machine that takes 45min is far better hardware then a DualCore, in this case a QuadCore with SATA II/sata... Iam going to use these machines for database and Iam very concerned about these results Based on that I have this question: Is it normal that this varies so much? (Afterall a variation from 35min to 45min represents an increase of about %25 less efficiency!!) Is there a better way to benchmark the IO of a Hard Disk on OpenBSD , what should be the normal of a hard disk scanned as sd SATA/ SATA II with similar CPU/RAM as mentioned? Andres
