<div class="im">> screw that site, its useless info run by a linux gnu zealot.<br>
<br>
</div>Well, being a Linux GNU zealot doesn't invalidate numbers. What does<br>
invalidate is that he has no numbers!<br>
<br>
He just fired a few applications and counted the seconds, this is<br>
utterly pointless. No reference to how many times he ran, standard<br>
deviations, possible effects of OS cache, compilation parameters, etc,<br>
etc. There simply isn't anything in there. It even lack text in<br>
between the charts, a conclusion, and... well... everything.<br>
<br>
"Ignore that site", would also be more polite... ;)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Nevertheless, the site has a large audience. From a publicity perspective, it may be worthwhile to work with the author to get more representative numbers.</div>
