Well, I have not done any benchmarks of XFS and I know nothing of XFS on
Linux. But on Irix (6.5 on single R12000) simple C programs (compiled using GCC for
Irix)
reading and writing to many files (like about 2000 files one after the
other) takes much longer than on a PIII-600. Also doing a tar xzf (I
realise this may have more to do with the decompression routines) takes
abnormally longer on any SGI (even with copious amounts of free HDD
space). Also doing a simple ls takes longer. (I realise this may
also have to do with the display system, which is supposed to be good on
the SGIs anyway). However the recent version of Irix (6.5 as opposed to
6.4) performs somewhat
better, I don't know whether the XFS version is more recent on that
though.
I'm yet to use an SGI (With Irix, not Linux ;-) for something other than running
software which
has not yet been ported to Linux. Even Molecular visualisation programs
run faster on Linux (with Mesa) than on SGI (with OpenGL). If someone
know how to performance tweak an SGI, please post a link.
TIA,
Indraneel
