During this month I refactor the code used for the tests and kept doing them with the same base mentioned above (about 92 000 files with an average size of 2kb), but procedure differently: I ran the compression and decompression 50 times in eight different computers. The results were not

During this month I refactor the code used for the tests and kept doing them with the same base mentioned above (about 92 000 files with an average size of 2kb), Those are _tiny_. It seems likely to me that you're spending most of your time on I/O related to metadata (disk seeks, directory

Question: Are you 100% sure that nothing else was running on that system during the tests? No cron jobs, no makewhatis or updatedb? P.S. There is a permission issue with downloading one of the files. 2011/3/2 José Vinícius Pimenta Coletto jvcole...@gmail.com: Hi, I'm making a comparison

I think some profiling is in order: claiming LZO decompresses at 1.0MB/s and is more than 3x faster at compression than decompression (especially when it's a well known asymmetric algorithm in favor of decompression speed) is somewhat unbelievable. I see that you use small files. Maybe

slightly not on point for this conversation, but I thought it worth mentioningLZO is splitable, which makes it a good for for hadoopy things. Just something to remember when you do get some final results on performance. Cheers James. On 2011-03-02, at 8:12 PM, Brian Bockelman wrote:
