Offtopic: Both gzip and bzip2 run much faster on SPARC, either via using large pages (e.g. 64k or 4M; 512k pages will not work on Niagara1 machines... ;-( ) for the source and destination buffers and/or using profile feedback compilation (and/or, XIPO (=interprocedural optimizer)). In theory it may even be "nice" to provide gzip and bzip2 as optimized libraries to avoid that less-optimal versions are used by the various applications (it would even allow to use some of the gzip-accerlator cards out there (by replacing the libraries with versions which use this hardware)). ---- Bye, Roland P.S:: Reply-To: set to OpenSolaris Performance/HPC discussions <perf-discuss@opensolaris.org> -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
