In order to back that statement up there needed to be another set of data showing max ops/second vs. amount of RAM and then some text stating that they talked to someone associated with FreeBSD who indeed verifyed that it was a cache problem. I would have then just posted a message saying that there is an interesting article in PC mag that is suprisingly positive about FreeBSD. I wonder if M$ have been missing their monthly payments. :-) -Reggie -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Marc Slemko Sent: Thursday, October 08, 1998 6:27 PM To: lcremean@tidalwave.net Cc: freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PC Magazine 10/20/1998 Article about FreeBSD On Thu, 8 Oct 1998, Lee Cremeans wrote: > On Thu, Oct 08, 1998 at 04:16:46PM -0700, Reginald Perry wrote: > > The answer seems to be that the statement about the cache is incorrect, but > > that there seems to be a bottleneck somewhere, but 1) its unclear where, 2) > > its unclear that its a problem. > > I read that article, and that statement about cache just seems to be a total > non-sequitur. It flies right in the face of the graph they gave, and the It is completely consistent with the graph. The graph is clients vs. ops with _one_ amount of RAM. They are saying that with an increasing amount of RAM, NT gets more gains.
