Hi Team, I finally have my server back up and operational, long story (thanks Christian) and a couple of lenses worth in $ value so it's better left alone. All that now behind me and now that I'm in a better humor I would like to assess how my now relatively old hardware is performing (file save/open times) compared to other listers systems. I think it's OK but I maybe deluding myself.
To assess my systems image save/open performance I simply created a new image file in PS CS (20000 x 9000 pixels x 16bit, typical of my pano images) and timed how long it took to save it and open it again to my various drives using PS CS. I then used the recorded time to calculate the effective data rate in MB/s. If any of you are willing to indulge me by performing similar tests (timing doesn't have to be too accurate) and posting your results either public or private (along with a very basic system outline, OS/CPU/RAM/Network) that would be much appreciated. My system results can be found at the following link: http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio/temp/PS_data_rates.html Cheers, -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://picasaweb.google.com/distudio/PESO http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
