Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm just curious about something, that may (or may not) be logically explained... MP3 encoding. I downloaded a piece of software for my WinNT machine last night to do Ripping and Encoding, since I had a co-worker at work bragging about how fast he could rip/encode a CD. FreeBSD is on a PII-266, using a couple of different encoders (most recent: bladeenc), its takes ~20min per track, not including RIP time. WinNT 4.0 Workstation, on a Pentium 166...it takes ~5 minutes to RIP *and* encode that same track, including what the software calls "normalizing". Both are idle machines whil ethis is happening... Why does it take a quarter of the time under WinNT? Marc G.
