If you suite is disk I/O bound, you will get a significant improvement on a SSD. > Is the test suite read or write intensive or both? On SSDs, read and write speeds do not differ as heavily as with spindle counterparts. IIRC, SSD reads are of the order of 750 Mbps and writes are of the order of 650 Mbps. -- A _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
