Message-ID: <292@timeinc.UUCP> Date: Fri, 12-Jul-85 02:24:09 EDT Article-I.D.: timeinc.292 Posted: Fri Jul 12 02:24:09 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 13-Jul-85 11:31:03 EDT Distribution: net Organization: Time, Inc. - New York Lines: 27 Xref: watmath net.micro.att:237 net.unix-wizards:13814 A friend of mine with Major Buying Power at one of the Major Banks says that he'll never buy another 3B2 or UNIX system. Claims that a program (written in CoBlech) takes about two minutes to run on his vanilla PC-AT and over fifteen minutes to run on the 3B2. Now I'd like to help him out, since his ditaste for UNIX is based solely on these psuedo-speed trials and I would like to Enlighten him. Could somebody let me know what kind of stuff to look for in the various configuration files or disk layouts or other stuff so that I can speed up the 3B2? Or is it really seven times slower than the PC-AT? Or is it juts the compiler implementation? Thanks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ross M.
