I would be happy to add to the FAQ a reference to the URL of such a
collection if one exists. If somebody decides to put one together
it would be very useful to include enough information about the
systems to be able to interpret the results. Just what should be
included might be worth a bit of discussion here before going to the
trouble of collecting the timing results. For example, I wonder just
how much meaning time test number 23 (Write and read 10 512 by 512
byte arrays) really has. I would think that a big disk cache will give
a lower result then expected for a much larger number of writes.
Also it would be nice to include all the component times and not
just the totals. However the totals are still a useful summary.
Such a summary is already available in the online help (for V 4.01
at least) under TIME_TEST. I am happy to see that my HP system beats
the DEC Alpha with 224 Mb of memory (I only have 144 Mb).
However a coworker's Pentium beats my HP. Time to upgrade I guess.
