claus@sinix.UUCP (Claus Gittinger) (04/15/89)
Since many people requested them, here are the xbench results I've
collected so far:
Feel free to run xbench on your machine (if its not already in the list
or if it's rating is better/different) and mail the .out file to claus@sinix.
I'll continue to collect the data and publish the results from time to time.
If there is enough interest I can also provide the individual results
(xbench .out-files) and put them into comp.I.dont.know.
many thanks to:
john Carr at MIT for ibm, dec, hp and sun3 data
some guy at univ. of dortmund for sony, sun3 and sun386i data
juergen at univ. of karlsruhe for sun3/sun4 data
please notice that some of the listed machines/servers are preliminary
versions and still changing. (I always took the best rating I got and will
continue to do so.)
have fun Claus

X Server performance overview
.LP
All ratings are relative to a monochrome SUN 3/50 running X11R3
communicating via unix sockets.
The ratings are scaled to give this reference machine an
.I xStone
rating of 10000. A machine with double performance
will therefore get 20000
.I xStones;
a machine with half performance
will get 5000
.I xStones.
.LP
The value in the
.B line
field is the
.I lineStone
rating for solid-line, dashed-line, wide-line
and rectangle performance.
.br
The value in the
.B fill
field is the
.I fillStone
rating for solid-, tile- and stipple-rectangle-fill
performance.
.br
The value in the
.B blit
field is the
.I blitStone
rating for invrects,
screencopy, scroll, and
bitmapcopy performance.
.br
The value in the
.B arc
field is the
.I arcStone
rating for arc- and filledarc
performance.
.br
The value in the
.B R
field is the X server release.
.br
The value in the
.B p
field is the number of color/greyscale planes. Machines with a '1' in
the
.B p
field are monochrome.

First off, for readability's sake, what *roff macro package is this written for? `tbl|ptroff -ms' got the text and headers right, but `tbl|ptroff -me' got the table right. What compiler was used to gather the reference Sun-3/50 data - Sun's CC or GNU CC? What version of GNU CC? Under what version of the operating system - SunOS 3.5.1 or SunOS 4.0.1? Were the Purdue 2.1 speedups installed? What compiler was used on the other machines measured - the (usually) pcc-based one the vendor shipped, or GNU CC? In the case of the color machines, did you use Spaf's preliminary hacks to cfbmskbits.h? These are nifty numbers; now I'd like to know what I'm looking at!
