Nate Eldredge: > It might be good first to rule out compiler / library differences. Sure. Let's cut this short: "Slow" Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2.6 GHz, FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT amd64 ~60 min Phenom 9350e 2.0 GHz, OpenBSD 4.4-CURRENT amd64 ~80 min UltraSPARC-IIe 500 MHz (Blade 100), OpenBSD 4.4-CURRENT sparc64 10 h++ "Fast" Pentium 4 3.0 GHz, FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE i386 36 s Xeon E5405 2.0 GHz (PowerEdge 1950), OpenBSD 4.4-CURRENT amd64 47 s Alpha 21164A 500 MHz (AlphaPC164), OpenBSD 4.4-CURRENT alpha 9 min Let me draw your attention to the fact that the two amd64 systems that run different operating systems are both slow, whereas the two amd64 systems that run the same operating system (compiler, libraries) diverge in speed. Oh, and everybody is invited to run $ cd /usr/ports/archivers/lzo2 && make and check for themselves. PS: The Blade 100 is still crunching as I write this... -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
