As promised here is the video for the test, it is 41 mins long and 82mb, it is legal, and a load of rubbish..dont bother watching it

Its important we all use the same method, so i suggest to start with we all use devede on its default settings except check multicore optimization, erase temp files, iso image and not using any external drives, and not use any other apps etc.. in the test.

I think ive covered the important bases, feel free to comment

CPU Cores =2
RAM =2gig
RAM Type =DDR2
Arch = 64

Hard disks
Number =3

Oh....kay. CentOS' version of gtk is too old for devede to work.

Does this have to be a Fedora installation to test? My only decent Fedora machine is at work and I can't really do this at work.

Alright, on ArchLinux

Time = 7:40
AMD Dual Core processor
CPU Speed = 2.2 Ghz
CPU Cores = 2
RAM = 2GB
RAM Type = DDR2
Arch = 64

How are your Hd's set up as that seems to make the most difference..

On ubuntu 11.04

Time devede took =6:18
CPU Speed =3.5Ghz
CPU Cores =6
RAM =8Gb
RAM Type =DDR3
Arch =64

Hello
Time devede took = 15.50min
CPU Speed = 1.4Ghz
CPU Cores =1
RAM =2Gb
RAM Type =ddr
Arch = i686

Hard disks
Number =1
Size = 40 Gb
Speed =4200 0r 5400 (don't know how to find out)
Type (sata etc) = sata
Configuration (lvm, raid,etc)=lvm

Note:I did not adjust disc usage

Oops, forgot disks

Hard disks
Number = 1
Size = 200 GB (but only 50 GB given to Arch, it's a multiple boot test machine)
Speed = 7200rpm
Type (sata etc) = sata
Configuration (lvm, raid,etc)= standard partitions

Interesting results so far, what i would expect, except for you Leigh, yours should be faster (have yo got thermal throttle on in bios or running effects), i have also worked out that roughy every process running adds 1/2 a second to the time, except for dropbox which seems to add 3 sec's.

On SL6 (compiz, firefox & thunderbird running)

Time devede took =2:33
CPU Speed =3.5Ghz
CPU Cores =6 (cpuspeed disabled)
RAM =8Gb
RAM Type =DDR3
Arch =64

I also replaced the atrpms packages with f13 rpmfusion packages as they had broken multi-threading, it still took 6:03 till I disabled cpuspeed.

I managed to do it quicker using a /tmp ramdisk
