I've done some benchmarking of Windows file system IO (NTFS) using known tools like bonnie++, blogbench and postmark under cygwin and the results are abysmal. It might be due to cygwin, and it might not. I've used Windows Enterprise Server 2003. You'll probably not find any difference in computational (numeric) tasks and fairly bad results in tasks that do a lot of system work. --------------enigDE22439C07BEE7600C0A163B Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJOQ6RldnAQVacBcgRAqK9AJ410pXvG3jQlTkNk8HNLwJOAA3JYACeNM/0 /G/2geLA4o8erF3etoot19o= =FdDL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigDE22439C07BEE7600C0A163B--
