I am currently collecting some benchmarks, and on my particular hardware, my findings are more positive. My machine has one of the first Core 2 Duo chips, with 1.83 GHz and not a whole lot of cache. All platforms I tested were compiling the source code on the very same partition. Both ZETA and Haiku were tested with a BFS partition that contained no index. On openSUSE 11.2, I tested the same partition as ReiserFS 3.6, but unfortunately, Ext4 is so disappointingly resource heavy, that the build is impossible even on a 3.6 Gig partition with the build tools source tree removed (runs out of space)! PC-BSD wants a 10 Gig primary partition, so I have no data on that either. My numbers so far are this: Compiling revision 28969 with GCC-pipe enabled using GCC 2.95.3, no UserBuildConfig, haiku-image target, BFS without index: ZETA 1.2: real 86m54.680s user 22m8.017s sys 80m48.841s Haiku r34888, KDEBUG=0: real 14m3.377s user 20m41.319s sys 4m51.959s This means that Haiku r34888 is 6.19 times faster than ZETA at this system level benchmark! Unfortunately, I couldn't compile that revision of the source on Linux anymore, so I can only compare Haiku and Linux with ZETA out of the picture: Compiling revision 34845 with GCC-pipe enabled using GCC 2.95.3, no UserBuildConfig, haiku-image target, BFS without index and ReiserFS 3.6: Haiku r34888, KDEBUG=0: real 18m55.198s user 27m35.263s sys 6m41.622s Haiku r34888, KDEBUG=0, different partition, regular BFS with index, slower location on the drive, heavily used, almost full and thus heavily fragmented: real 24m0.412s user 27m36.399s sys 12m12.895s openSUSE 11.2, same partition as BFS noindex with ReiseFS 3.6: real 13m32.431s user 17m10.099s sys 2m49.717s This means that Haiku, in the comparable benchmark of using noindex, is only 1.4 times slower than Linux on my hardware and freaking 6.2 times faster than ZETA. I find that pretty amazing. In all tests, the respective systems were freshly booted, the object directory had been deleted in the previous session. Again, all systems used GCC 2.95.3 with a -j2 build. Haiku had ActivityMonitor embedded in the desktop and ProcessController in the Deskbar, Linux had an activity monitor widget in the Plasma desktop. ZETA had nothing of the like. No other programs were running and the machine was left alone for the time. On Linux, I had another run with 13m53.408s, but decided to take the better result. (Same on ZETA 1.2, where a previous run took 88 minutes instead of 86.) Bottom line: Good freaking job, Ingo!! Best regards, -Stephan
