[Starkit] Extraneous benchmark between Red Hat Lynux and Unix Tru64 platforms

[Eduardo Rodriguez (Gerencia de Desarrollo)]

 Hi everybody, I did a test consisted to update 10000 records on two Metakit 
datafiles . The test was ran on two servers, a P4  with Lynux RedHat release 9 
and on Alpha Server with Unix Tru64 V5.1. As result of running on both of 
them the times executing were a big different, but to my surprise significantly 
smaller on P4.
 Some data about environment on each platform:

Linux:

  Executable binary source: ActiveTcl/bin/tclsh8.4
  info patchlevel : 8.4.7
  package version Mk4tcl : 2.4.9.2       

Tru64:

  Executable binary source: tclkit
  info patchlevel : 8.4.5
  package version Mk4tcl : 2.4.9.2       

Outputs to command ‘time test.tcl’

Linux :
real    3m19.413s
user    3m19.070s
sys     0m0.150s

Tru64:
real    9m48.80s
user    9m48.43s
sys     0m0.13s

The tclkit module was configured with:

/opt/build/gcc-3.3.2/configure --enable-nls --with-included-
gettext --enable-shared --enable-threads --with-local-
prefix=/opt/TWWfsw/gcc332 --prefix=/opt/TWWfsw/gcc332

Having:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/TWWfsw/gcc332/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

 Does anyone has been experimented something like that ?

  Best Regards,
    Eduardo.
