That is interesting information. > Apparently, the 4200 RPM HDD took 50% or more time than the SSD on every > job but only 25% longer on "untar kernel," for some reason. Is the untarring a straight read of an uncompressed tarball or was the test run on a compressed kernel? I assume the latter (that seems to be the norm), in which case the "untar kernel" test would have a significantly higher proportion of CPU-dependent work than the other tests, reducing the relative impact of data transfer speeds. -- News aggregation meets world domination.
