We have been running msconvert to convert our raw files to mzXML format and then latter on compressing the files using gzip. We would like to simplify the conversion process by using only 1 tool and 1 command to do so. However when we downloaded the latest windows version (2.1.2393 ) from sourceforge and ran it with and without the compression option we got very different time frames. With 130 Mb raw files these were converted to plain mzXML files (without the compression option) in an average 8 minutes then using gzip they were zipped in an average 3 minutes (Total time an average of 11 minutes). When they are converted with the compression option they take 38 to 40 minutes to convert. Why is this? I thought it should take less time when running them with the -g option.
I am using an Amazon Windows 2003 server Small Instance. The proteowizard version is 2.1.2393 artifact is pwiz-bin-windows-x86-vc90- release-2_1_2393.tar.bz2 that is 21.57 Mb in size checked in on 26 November 2010. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spctools-discuss" group.
