Dear all, This is just a information question, but it seems that dumping card speed is not consistent when using GNU/Linux and pcsc-lite with a Feitian PKI card [1].
1) GNU/Linux 32/64 bits The test consists of measuring time of a dump: time pcs15-tool --dump We used the latest OpenSC SVN and most recent releases of libccid and pcsc-lite: libccid 1.4.3-1 pcsc-tools 1.4.17-1 pcscd 1.7.2-2 This is a recent kernel: uname -r 2.6.38-2-amd64 All packages are from Debian SID, either 32 or 64bit. Doing several dumps using an Omnikey reader 3621 under GNU/Linux 64 bit, we got different times: * 1m7.526s * 0m2.560s * 0m2.561s * 1m2.592s Then we switched to another station GNU/Linux 32bit: * 2,6 s * 3,0 s * 2,8 s * 2,8 s It seems that we have consistent timing under 32 bit, not 64bit. But we did only a test on one 64bit station. It is running a fast Intel dual core processor. 2) GNU/Linux v.s. Windows 7 Also, it seems that dumping cards Windows 7 is always faster than GNU/Linux. So far, we tested three readers. Windows timings for smartcards always range between 2s-4s when Linux timing can range from 2 seconds to 1 minute [1]. And timing usually varies under Linux. Any idea? I am really lost.
