FYI: Speed Test BDB to FSFS

Here are the results of my speed test comparison between FSFS and BDB. I do not know if it will be of much use to you all as every environment cab be different. OS: FC4 - 2.6.12 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 2GB ram, 16k RPM SCSI disks SVN: version 1.2.1 (r15230) Berkeley 4.3 Test Specs: For each test in the suite * repeat 50 times with a 40 MB directory of 1000+ files * report average time to complete * Checkout - checkout directory at the HEAD revision note: export is not tested as it performs same basic task as checkout * Checkout Historical - checkout directory at revision 20000 * Commit Add - checkout directory at the HEAD revision, add 50 files, commit * Commit Delete - checkout directory at the HEAD revision, delete 50 files, commit * Commit Modify - checkout directory at the HEAD revision, modify 50 files, commit Results: Type Checkout @ Head Checkout @ 20000 Commit - Add 50 Commit - Mod 50 Commit - Del 50 BDB 9.050940 61.517000 47.112200 29.894040 32.429880 FSFS 9.043580 61.420960 46.786760 29.290980 32.930660 Difference BDB to FSFS -0.01 -0.1 -0.33 -0.6 0.5 The average change in performance was an improvement of .11 seconds. If we extrapolate this to checkouts and actions performed on a 1GB scale we see an average improvement of 2.72 seconds. This change amounts to a very small improvement for all categories except for deletes which are disimproved. The only thing that could be a potential problem would be the mass deletion of files, which isn't really anything I'm worrying about. -- Peter Kahn peter.kahn@ironmountain.com IM: pkahn@imserver, citizenkahn@jabber80.com, citizenkahn@googletalk.com, citizen_kahn@yahoo.com Iron Mountain Digital ----------------------------------------- The information contained in this email message and its attachments is intended only for the private and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above, unless the sender expressly agrees otherwise.
