My primary development machine is an Ultra5 with 333MHz which is MUCH worse than an Ultra60. I still think bzip2 is a better choice... (BTW: Take a look at my comment about bzip2 performance on SPARC, AFAIK there should be various ways to improve the performance, ranging from compiler tweaks, largepage usage and/or locking the buffers in memory...). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
