Perhaps it's just Vista that's not the future ;-) ________________________________

I agree with Michael Foord... Isn't x64 supposed to be the future or something? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Fugate Sent: Tuesday, August 19, 2008 00:43 To: Discussion of IronPython Subject: [IronPython] Informal Poll: measuring IronPython performance under x64 OSes Hi everyone, one of the things the IronPython test team does daily is run a set of standardized benchmarks against the latest internal build of IronPython. We're in the process of reevaluating the platforms we measure these benchmarks on with the end goal of increasing the number of tests we can run. For example, if we could cut x64 Vista from the list of platforms, the x64 Vista machine(s) could be reimaged to run new benchmarks we wouldn't have had the resources for before. Alternatively, we might reimage the x64 Vista machine(s) as some other platform we don't currently test under. Of course in such a scenario we'd still run other classifications of tests under x64 Vista. I wanted to hear peoples' opinions on the importance of measuring IronPython performance under x64 Windows OSes before we make any decisions on this. First off, how many people out there are actually running IronPython under a 64-bit OS? Would it be sufficient for us to report news on IronPython performance in terms of 32-bit platforms?
