RC5 and OGR - Windows 2000 vs. Linux

I recently installed Linux (Slackware 7.1) on my Duron 700@1055 (111*9.5). When doing ./dnetc -bench from the console in Linux and dnetc -bench from the command prompt in Windows 2000 I get the following results:

RC5 OGR
Windows 2000: 3,669,353.47 8,285,862.32
Linux: 3,703,177.69 6,555,733.97

In RC5, Linux is slightly faster, as I expected, but OGR is much slower. I previously notices this with my old K6-2 350@460 (115*4). Is there a deficiency in the client? I was hoping to improve my speeds with linux, but apparantly that's not possible ..


Any comments / help would be appreciated.
 
ottawanker: What client version is this?

There's an issue with OGR in the 463 client for linux... the 462 is "windows fast" ... We had long threads about that earlier...

I think you might find the 462 client at DNet's FTP page still... I'll try to find a link

(oh btw: you are a part of the TeAm right? otherwise I'll have to mod my sig 😉)
 
Gosh TwoFace - you got me looking too! 😀

Here's a link to ver. 462 linux (it's in this directory). It was a doozy to find on their FTP site but fortunately is was there. I'm running dnet primarily on NetBSD and still have my client from a bunch of months ago. Never upgraded it.
 
Oh and HERE'S the FreeBSD client too 😉

just in case you wanted it Poof... I don't know if the BSD clients have the same error as the Linux ones... but you should test the different ones at least 😉

/edit I still don't know how to speeel or write english 😱 edit/
 
Cool and that's good info to know about 463. Just downloaded 462 for one of my linux boxes! Thanks TwoFace!

EDIT: /me can't spell either! LOL
 
Hehe that's what we're here for 😎

I just had a thought... you might want to try the new beta clients that are out...

FreeBSD 464b (beta)
Linux 464b (beta)

I don't know if these issues have been taken care of in these... but it sure would be nice to know... I'm taking down my linux box soon so I have refrained from doing stuff like this with it... I still might take the linux client out for a spin tho' 😉

/edit just clarifying that those clients are beta and LOL at you not being able to speeeel either Poof 😉 edit/
