I am not convinced that this kind of test is of any value for comparing systems at all because there are too much factors involved - unless the competitors are installed on identical hardware. On the other side I think it is usefull to compare tweaked settings on a particular machine. For example you may change fsize/bsize of the filesystem or any other and can compare this results then. -- João A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
