So you are not measuring the same thing.That being said, the disk processing time of writing 20000 times to a file is likely going to swamp any other variable (milliseconds vs nanoseconds). It will vary by O/S (classic Mac is not tuned as a server O/S), RAM, disk subsystem (caching controller), and disk geometry itself. I don't think this test can measure anything useful, unless you use the same box and vary some of the parameters (add RAM, use a caching controller, use a 10k disk drive).John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
