From: kh@wg.icl.co.uk (Kevin Hughes) Subject: Shell script performance 11 Dec 1997 06:50:38 -0800 Message-ID: <01BD063B.E880E380.cygnus.gnu-win32@rodney.wg.icl.co.uk> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "Gnuwin95 (E-mail)" I have noticed that the performance of my shell scripts leaves a great deal to be desired. On my Sparc boxes they trip along quite nicely - making the users happy but on much more powerful Intel PII machines running NT - wow is it slow. Its certainly not the processors as the sparcs are little hyperSparcs with 64M, the Intel is dual PII at 300Mhz with 256M. I guess this is a bash implementation problem to do with process creation which has been mentioned on the group before. I have noticed that the uwin system runs quicker as does the OpenNT but I would prefer not to go that way if I can avoid it. Does anyone have any ideas if anything can/is being done?
