Has anyone ever compiled a chart comparing NetBSD's performance on the
different ports? All benchmarks are task specific of course, and driver
performance has a large effect, but of the top of my head I'd list the ports
from highest to lowest performance this way...
(Please keep in mind I've never used some of this hardware, and some only
with native OS)
Alpha
PowerPC
Sparc
arm32
i386
pmax
hp300
mac68k - mvme68k - x68k - amiga - atari - sun3
pc532
pica
vax
Obviously there's some overlap, considering the range of processors supported
on any of these ports (i.e. 386-16 < PPro200 < P-II-300)
Anyone have corrections to my guestimate?
