As mentioned on the dev list a couple of weeks ago, performance is
one of the projects ongoing for 0.6. One of the steps in this process
is to select the appropriate hardware that we will use to run and
benchmark our performance tests. Our ballpark was to pick the mid-
range setup that a consumer would have bought in 2003.
Windows/Linux: Pentium(R) 4, ~2 GHz, 512 RAM
Mac: G4, ~1GHz, 512 RAM
The 3 machines we have decided to use, along with configuration
details are listed below. We realize that these are a bit faster than
our original target but feel they are close enough to meet our needs
for 0.6.
1. Winxp
* Processor : Pentium(R) 4
* CPU : Single CPU, 2.8 GHz
* Memory : 512 MB RAM
* OS : Win XP Professional Edition SP2
2. Mac Mini
* Processor : 1.25 GH G4
* CPUs : Single CPU, 1.25 GHz
* OS : Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger
* Memory : 512 MB DDR SDRAM
3. Linux
* Processor : Penitum(R) 4
* CPU : Single CPU, 2.8 GHz
* Memory : 512 MB RAM
* OS : Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 4
