2010-05-26 Thread Giovanni
My issue is not directly related to physical hard disk performance (even if that is another point), but on RAMDISK performance. Devsk is right: I am modelling memory performance. A ramdisk without a file system on it (such as the one obtained using the ramdisk create command) is like a raw disk.

Hi, The Desktop CBE tarball is now really obsolete and sadly, there is no newer version available. There are some pretty good instructions here: http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/how_to_build_jds_on but use the latest pkgbuild, not the version mentioned there. Laca On Wed, 2010-05-26 at 01:50
