Ok.. as you may or may not know, Parallels released their second
version last night... here is an unofficial benchmark (and I cannot
believe it, had to get toilet paper):
XP (powered off) to fully boot and logged in: 9 seconds
XP (suspended and click to run): 3 seconds!
These were both fresh reboots so nothing was cached on the Mac... I am
also running FileVault.
My Hardware config:
MacPro Quad 3GHZ
4GB RAM
Two 500GB Drives
Aiport Extreme
Bluetooth Keyboard and Bluetooth Mighty Mouse
30 inch Cinema HD display
The MacPro running parallels out performs a STAND ALONE Dell P4 3.2GHZ
by about 5 times (takes almost 50 seconds to boot into the XP login
screen), let alone another 25-30 seconds after you log in to actually
finish whatever it does.
I have in my life never run a system so fast... even running older
apps that require Rosetta (like photoshop and Adobe Acrobat) start in
like 6 seconds.. almost not even noticable that it runs under
Rosetta... and a universal binary??? forget about it, opens instantly.
