Benchmarking Microsoft Word 95 through Word 2007 - OpenOffice.org Ninja. The responses to benchmarking multiple versions of OpenOffice.org varied. Common responses were oversimplification of the results and some unrealistic expectations. To put that data into perspective, here is a benchmark for Microsoft Word 95 through 2007. That's over a decade years of releases, each of which has definitely become fatter. Before you read the benchmark results below, do you think over the years Word has become slower or faster?
Benchmark test environment The modest test machine is about three years old. Operating system: Windows XP SP3 (clean install)CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+RAM: 768 MB, DDR 333 (PC 2700)HDD: Maxtor 6Y080L0, IDE, 7200 RPM, 80 GBVideo: Via VT8378 S3 Unichrome IGP at 1024x768 Though this is the same hardware as the OpenOffice.org benchmark, the results are not an apples-to-apples comparison between Microsoft Word and OpenOffice.org Writer because of differences in the test documents, operating system, and test procedure. Benchmark test procedure Related articles. Javascript speed tests .: Celtic Kane. How does your favorite browser’s Javascript engine speed compare to other popular browsers? The speed of your browser’s Javascript is becoming more and more important because of Web 2.0′s reliance on Ajax and complex Javascript libraries.
I have written a benchmark test, which you can run on your machine at home, to compare the newest versions of Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, and Firefox. How does your favorite browser stand up to the competition? Preface In 2006, I originally wrote a Javascript speed test that is a derivation of the test that I use today. The test gained quite a bit of attention, so I created a subsequent test to compare browsers that had been released after the first test (i.e.

The Test. Bonnie++ now at 1.03a (very stable)! Want to sponsor development of Bonnie++? If so see this link for details. The benchmark category of my blog has posts related to Bonnie++ and other benchamrk development work. It also includes information on Postal my mail host server benchmark. Version 1.03 will hopefully be the last release of Bonnie++ 1.x. I hope that now I can concentrate on version 2.0 which will have many new features. Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Interesting pages about Bonnie++ Roch (rhymes with Spock) Bourbonnais wrote an interesting analysis of Bonnie++ on Solaris, he was testing a very grunty file server and analysing the operation with dtrace.
