Hi all,
I'm running OpenBSD/i386 3.8 with GENERIC.MP on a Compaq Proliant
DL380, powered by 2 PIII-866. All my partitions lives on a 3 ULTRA320
SCSI 10K RPM disk RAID-5 array.
When I untar ports.tar.gz, it took about 4 minutes for a 8Mb archive
(lots of small files)... I feel this is a bit poor performance :
$ time tar -xzf ports.tar.gz
3m57.80s real 0m1.85s user 0m4.52s system
$ ls -l
total 17188

-rw-r--r-- 1 bcarnazzi bcarnazzi 8775929 Feb 2 17:01 ports.tar.gz
I already use softupdate, as mount reports :
/dev/sd0a on / type ffs (local, softdep)
/dev/sd0h on /home type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep)
/dev/sd0d on /tmp type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep)
/dev/sd0g on /usr type ffs (local, nodev, softdep)
/dev/sd0e on /var type ffs (local, nodev, nosuid, softdep)
Here is the dmesg :

Is this "normal" OpenBSD performance ? I feel an ext3 fs a bit faster
on linux-2.6 running the same hardware :
mount :
/dev/ida/disc0/part3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
time :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmp $ time tar -xzf ports.tar.gz
real 1m29.349s
user 0m2.700s
sys 0m4.460s
2 times faster :(
While in my case, FS performance is not very important, I'd like to
know if this difference can be reduced and if not, why this difference
(noatime plays in favor of linux) ?
Thank you,
Bruno.
