Re: OpenBSD's extremely poor network/disk performance?

2020-01-09 Thread Hamd
Joe, are you a joke? Please stop insulting me, this is not
my/your_personal_fancy_forum.

This will be my last post here in misc.

Default setups, no config. changes.
Just patches installed.
Same hardware.

FreeBSD:
freebsd@test:~ # time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=test.tmp bs=4k count=5
&& sync"
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
20480 bytes transferred in 0.239590 secs (854792500 bytes/sec)
0.000u 0.195s 0:00.25 76.0% 22+198k 0+1568io 0pf+0w

Result: *854.79 MB/s disk speed*

freebsd@test:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD test.local 12.1-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p1 GENERIC  amd64

OpenBSD:
test$ time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=test.tmp bs=4k count=5 && sync"
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
20480 bytes transferred in 12.303 secs (16645247 bytes/sec)
0m12.32s real 0m00.13s user 0m01.28s system

Result: *16.64 MB/s disk speed*

test$ uname -a
OpenBSD test.local 6.6 GENERIC#3 amd64

You all guys, please don't get me wrong in any way, I truly adore
cleanness, stability and security of OpenBSD, huge efforts of all the dev
team is really, much appreciated!

I agree when it comes to OpenBSD, of course, security comes FIRST. But in
2020, a speed of 16 megabytes per second...hurts the users. A lot.

I really wish I could do contribute the code somehow..*sighs

Regards.

"4.) The code is right there, you are invited to improve the situation."
Simple answer: I'm not a developer, I'm a user. A regular one.

Under less than 24 hours, after my post, the misc has received 2 or 3 brand
new questions/posts regarding slow*. The problem is, well, obviously not
me, personally.
For the Dev Team (All of 'em. Volunteer, beer-teer, pay-teer ones): I
regretfully think, the time of changing that filesystem older than my
2xgrandfather, has arrived.
Ciao a tutti.

OpenBSD's extremely poor network/disk performance?

2020-01-07 Thread Hamd
It's 2020 and it's -still- sad to see OpenBSD -still- has the
lowest/poorest (general/overall) performance ever:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article=8-linux-bsd=1

My reference is not -only- that url, of course. My reference is my OpenBSD,
giving ~8 MB/s file transfer/network/disk speed.

A Linux distro, on the same computer (dual boot), providing 89 MB/s speed.

(Longest) sad story of the year: When it comes to OpenBSD; security -
great! Performance - horrible! I truly wish it was much better..

No, I'm not a fan of Calomel.
