do something about those very slow 'inserts' (and 'updates') on the Mac?

Thanks in advance for any insight,

Did it appear to be disk or CPU bound?

Sorry, newbie here. I don't know how I can tell. The RUN file says this about the 'insert':


insert: Total time: 6811 wallclock secs (881.86 usr 0.00 sys + 0.00 cusr 0.00 csys = 881.86 CPU)

Does that mean anything in this regard?

What are the filesystems like on each?  Journaling on either?  Hard
disks and cache?  RAID/SCSI controllers?

The Mac was HFS+ journaled. Disk: the stock Apple-supplied one. The Linux machine was a default SuSE 8.0 installation. ext2 as the filesystem? No idea about journaling. No SCSI or RAID, just an internal IDE disk. Both machines are really consumer-level machines, no heavy-duty server hardware. That's about all I can tell you, I really don't know that much about the details of the hardware. Sorry, not much help here, I know.


Anyway, I now have Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) and the Perl DBI/DBD stuff installed on my G5 and I'll run the benchmarks tonight. (I earlier ran the benchmarks under Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2) on the G5, and I also got a relative 'spike' in the insert-test compared to the other tests, just as on the G4.) I'll report the Panther-results later.
