With the help of several (30+) kind users, we have conducted a simple
test to compare Panther's vs Tiger's performances.
The test consisted in timing one "do shell script" command, taking
some steps in order to get rid of the osax call overhead [1].
We publish the results at:
<http://www.satimage.fr/software/test_05_08/speed_test_result.html> [2]
Roughly summarized, the results say that Tiger is 4 times slower than Panther.
Many people must have been on vacations then. It would be interesting
if now people from Apple accepted to comment those disappointing
results.
Thanks in advance to them.
Best regards,
Emmanuel
[1] Namely, we subtracted the time needed for "beep" from the time
recorded for "do shell script", considering that "beep" is something
negligible with respect to the osax call overhead.
[2] The data that we collected and the script which processed them
are posted at:
