:I doubt that that sort of benchmark is going to say an awful lot about the :performance of the optimisation levels since compiling /usr/sr/usr.sbin is :going to be affected by disk i/o performance far more than it would be by :cpu performance. The relative speed differences of the different egcs/libc :binaries is probably smoothed out by the i/o affects which is why the times :look so similar. : :Something that is more cpu bound would be a better benchmark for comparing :the optimisation options. : : :Paul.
That test was 100% cpu bound. There was no ( significant ) I/O. I ran it a few times to build the cache before timing it. It's no big deal, really. I think the EGCS bandwagon is going to continue to move forward and PGCS runs on top of it, so moving to EGCS puts FreeBSD in a better position in the long term. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
