Even with other cpu's there is that difference. Are long-term planning optimization? ID: 80 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Yes, I know the difference (but on my hosts this difference is smaller, on E3-1230v2 between Windows 7 and Debian Wheezy about 10%). I have tested stronger optimisations for Linux on test server but with 300% faster computations we get bit different results for app and this need to be investigated more deeply in future...

I would like to test this host with Linux for a better Windows to Linux application comparison. ID: 291 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The windows client is a 32 bit while Linux is 64 bit. While I don't know performance increases in GENERAL (not just here), I think comparing a Win64 to a Lx64 would be a better comparison. On that topic, if you have the time when you return, krzyszp, would you make a 32 bit Linux client please? Thanks in advance. :) ID: 393 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I don't have any 32bit Linux machine at the moment. I will try to do it on virtualbox but can't tell you when at the moment as I have some other more important tasks on my list...

Unfortunately, all tests I have made on Linux machine and I don't know yet what is performance ratio between Linux and Windows. I think in next few days some results shows what difference is between systems...

I'm currently contemplating to migrate another one of my crunchers back to Linux, so I wonder if this will have any "negative" impact on how much I can contribute to this project?
