I can't imagine a G4 would be disk bound relative to an Intel machine, unless there is something very wrong with the disk or controller. Also, you might want to defrag your disk on the Mac.
G4s have much more disk bandwidth than any Intel I've ever seen. Almost as much as my DEC Alpha. >:) Van ========================================================================= http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/113/ded_serius.html Linux rocks!!! http://www.dedserius.com ========================================================================= On Thu, 6 Nov 2003, Jeremy Zawodny wrote: > On Wed, Nov 05, 2003 at 07:57:00PM +0100, Jan Pieter Kunst wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > > > I recently ran the MySQL benchmark suite on a Dual 1 GHz G4 running Mac > > OS X Server 10.2.8, and an 800 MHz Intel machine running SuSE Linux 8.0. > > Both installations used the same my.cnf file. > > > > The results are comparable in all benchmarks except one: the 'insert'. > > In that one, the Mac is more than twice as slow.
