Mirrored System Drive and Swap File Performance??

Performance art and why it is invalid.
Currently, unless you play only "Q3A", the minimal performance increase the P4 offers over the Athlon isn't worth that $300 price tag.....it's not even worth a $50 price tag. I honestly think it's Intel that is getting desperate. They have release a lazy processor that is so inefficient, they have to knock it 600

loss of performance with split data base
We believe FreeBSD does very well in any comparisons of the sort being discussed and there's still lots of room for improvement. As to nsd vs bind, understand they are very different applications w/ totally different goals. Comparing performance is not entirely fair and certainly is difficult.

Markus Pietrek mar...@concept.de comp lang tcl Hi folks, I just run into some weird performance problem of Tcl 8.2 on HP-UX 10.20. This _doesn't_ happen on any other platform I tried (linux, solaris, windows, hp-ux 11.0). It seems to me that lappend doesn't use a constant time to add an element to a list but uses a

Comparing Performance Metrics accross platforms?
But this seems to mean that, if there is a performance dispute, the job description isn't the place to go to resolve details. [My undertanding of a "job description" is the definition of a particular job category, not an individual project set of goals. The latter is also something I'm used to, but it's been called

Intel vs. AMD performance by Christmas
Nope, the only performance improvement of RAID 1(mirroring) is that the read throughput is about doubled as long as there are several outstanding/queued I/Os. There is no performance improvement for single threaded read operations. What software mirroring could do for the idle system case would be to issue two

CMUCL performance in the Shootout
A recent issue of PC Mag showed quite a difference in performance between the cards in their 2D DirectX testing with the ET6000 and Virge based cards being the fastest in their roundup and Now that QuakeWorld has been released, the Timerefresh command can be used to judge 2D DirectX performance between cards.

Mike Davis on design over performance
Some people suggested that performance would improve if instead of using the ADO Recordset approach and executing SQL statements via the command objects if we used stored procedures. What we were seeing was a lot of network talkback for the same design with SQL Server 2000 versus Access. So we decided to change our

Network Performance
SCSI is an intelligent interface and the higher command processing overhead is there for performance reasons. There include; command overlapping (which allows commands to be sent to multiple devices concurrently), tagged command queuing (which allow out-of-sequence access to be reorganised for better performance)

Performance of StringBuilder
When you know you have a performance problem, don't guess at the cause, use empirical studies to find the cause." In other words, behavior first, performance second -- if at all. I agree with you that for many programs and many programmers, there's no need to worry about tuning performance if you've applied

portability and performance bug of lappend in Tcl
I find Lisp very elegant as a language, but am concerned about performance. For some of the work I do, a 50% performance differential means that I have to wait 2 days for results instead of one. In cases where it really matters, you can generally get performance more like 80-90% of low-level C code.

Performance evaluation is useless
It would be interesting to see what the performance is for accessing the application using a locally executing copy of the program. This eliminates almost all the network transport issues. If I were going to test this out, I would be most interested in doing two things. I would like to see what the execution speed
