texte = We just got a new PC in the office and thought we would compare it to the speed of our mac / osx based webserver as a speed comparison.Using the following code: [loop start=1&end=20000&advance=1] [append db=id.db]ID=[index][/append] [/loop] [elapsedtime]The database was just a single file - (no header) with one field called ID.We found some interesting speed differences between the mac and pc.The PC completed this task in 243 ticks while the mac took 637 ticks.Similar speed differences were noted on tests with the general rule of thumb being that the PC was about 2 to 2.5 time faster at processing. The PC was faster still doing smaller jobs - being up to four times quicker when the task wasn't so large - like creating 200 text variables for example.The two machines are as follows:ThePC 1800+ Palimino XP 256mb Ram MS XP Pro, IIS 5TheMac Dual 533mhz G4 764mb Ram OSX 10.1.5, ApacheBoth machines are running the latest version of Webcat I thought it would be interesting for people out there to run this simple test and tell us how it goes and the platform you tested on.Might give you either something to brag about or something to look at in terms of your configuration.Can anybody do this test in under 100 ticks?-- Andrew Simpson Web DevelopmentBlackpepper Interactive Ltd PO Box 99805 Newmarket4 Clayton Street Newmarket AucklandPh: +64 9 520-6281 Mob: 0272733270 Fax: +64 9 524-1849http://www.blackpepper.co.nz------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
