yes, the machines are pretty similar in terms of hardware, and in my tests
both the iMac and the PC (real) are connected in the same way to the same
adsl box.
Besides, I have several clients using the same app on iMac or Win7 on various
connections in various cities nationwide, and they all experience the same
difference in performance...

A question about differences in performance between Mac and Windows

2015-08-28 Thread jbv
Hi list

I have a standalone used as a frontal for requests to a DB. The results
are compressed and base64encoded by a LC script on the server, and the
standalone displays them in a table field after base64decode and
decompress.
On Mac, the process takes 0.25 second to 1 second (when the amount of data
is important).
On Windows 7, it takes at least 3 to 4 secs, no matter how much data.

Is there any rational explanation for that, and possibly a way to speed up
things on Windows ?
My guess is that some system librairies are called for base64decode and
decompress, which are significantly slower on Windows...

Thanks
jbv
