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?
