Hi, I've linked in test results with more info in them, and all batches used in the process: - CPU info dump from WMI - Tasklist before and after test runs - Complete dump of commands executed, hbmk2 output - Dir listing of tested .exes - Using r10643 where -ko was the default switch (it was turned off in r10653) - Unchanged: PC was left alone while running tests. - All tests repeated three times - Ordering ensures that CPU cannot "learn" any of the tests, since different scenarios are run after each other.
Test #1: Comparing -gc2 vs. -gc3 for speedtst in ST and MT modes. Test #2: Comparing -ko vs. non -ko modes in -gc2 vs. -gc3 speedtsts in ST mode. Command lines run from Far Manager command prompt, in C:\harbour-msvc-gc3\bin directory: > test#1-hbbench.bat > test#1-results.txt 2>&1 > test#2-hbbench.bat > test#2-results.txt 2>&1 Link: http://www.syenar.hu/harbour/winbench2.zip Please challenge the measuring methodology (and I'll try to further enhance it), also try to run it on your own system (even with other Harbour builds / compilers), and post the results here. In the end we can even include such batch files under /tests directory. Rgds, Viktor
