I have just begin to compare my dual 333 MHz PII system against my PC164SX system. I haven't any rela confidence yet that I've got the new PC164SX correctly set up (particularly, I am not certain about the way I have my RAM installed), but in timing and comparing makes of buildworld and of the kernel, the 333 MHZ PII seems to be beating the 533MHz Alpha by nearly 2:1. I did the testing before and after I activated softupdates on the alpha, and I was very surprised to note that I saw about a 5 percent slowdown when using softupdates. Are these experiences what I should have expected, or should I take this as clear evidence that I have something misconfigured? ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@picnic.mat.net | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | picnic.mat.net: FreeBSD/i386 (301) 220-2114 | jaunt.mat.net : FreeBSD/Alpha ---------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the messagehome | help
