Hi, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I've a desktop system and I commonly use applications like firefox, |
| 28 |
thunderbird and so on, kde, gaim and a terminal is nearly always there. |
| 29 |
Sometimes I'm running vim or kate. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If you're interested in some tests, not relevant for desktop systems, |
| 32 |
there are some I made: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Time wasted to compress a 416 mb tar: |
| 35 |
bzip2 gzip |
| 36 |
-O3 2m40.882s 1m20.445s |
| 37 |
-Os 2m39.314s 1m21.157s |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
decompress: |
| 40 |
bzip2 gzip |
| 41 |
-O3 0m52.575s 0m4.972s |
| 42 |
-Os 0m53.387s 0m4.828s |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Convert 203 Mbs MP3s to WAV using LAME: |
| 45 |
-O3 14m4.461s |
| 46 |
-Os 16m50.599s |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
from wav to mp3: |
| 49 |
-O3 1m1.708s |
| 50 |
-Os 1m12.841s |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Now I'm emerging -e world with -Os. When it is finished, I'll mail you |
| 53 |
the results. |
