I don't know about native Windows speed, but comparing NutCracker with Cygwin on a simple 'find . | wc -l' already gives a clue that looking at Cygwin to benchmark NT file inspection IO will give a skewed picture: ##### NutCracker $ time find . | wc -l real 0m 1.44s user 0m 0.45s sys 0m 0.98s 25794 ##### Cygwin $ time c:\\cygwin\\bin\\find . | wc -l real 0m 6.72s user 0m 1.09s sys 0m 5.59s 25794 ##### CMD.EXE + DIR /S C:\PROJECT> c:\cygwin\bin\time cmd /c dir /s >NUL 0.01user 0.01system 0:05.70elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 6320maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (395major+0minor)pagefaults 0swaps ##### Cygwin 'find -ls' (NutCracker doesn't have a '-ls') C:\PROJECT> c:\cygwin\bin\time c:\cygwin\bin\find -ls | wc -l 2.79user 7.81system 0:10.60elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 14480maxresident)k 25794 Regards, Rutger. -- Rutger Nijlunsing ---------------------------------- eludias ed dse.nl never attribute to a conspiracy which can be explained by incompetence ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
