some other funny benchmark numbers: i wondered how performance/compressratio of lzjb,lzo and gzip would compare if we have optimal compressible datastream.
since zfs handles repeating zero`s quite efficiently (i.e. allocating no space) i tried writing non-zero values. the result is quite interesting, so i`m posting it here. writing a 200meg file ( time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=200 |tr '\0' 'a' >test.dat ) has the following results (compression used |time needed |compressratio) lzo | 0m10.872s | 118.32x <- (!) lzjb | 0m11.886s | 27.94x gzip | 0m17.418s | 219.64x regards roland This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
