Average of all CPUs was 26.3%, best performance was 40%) details: - --------- XP SuSE XP / SuSE minutes | | total savings of Linux IBM R50p test 1 201 251 80% 20% IBM R50p test 2 226 272 83% 17% IBM R50p test 3 226 266 85% 15% IBM R50p test 4 212 254 83% 17% IBM R50p test 5 214 288 74% 26% overall savings of Linux over XP - 19% VISTA TEST Vista SuSE Vista / SuSE | total savings of Linux IBM R50p test 1 113 288 39% 61% IBM R50p test 2 128 272 47% 53% overall savings of Linux over Vista - 57% TRANSLATION: SuSE Linux saves an average of 19% over XP on an IBM R50p. SuSE Linux saves an average of 57% over VISTA on the same IBM R50p. "saves"... battery lasts 19% longer in SuSE Linux over XP. battery lasts 57% longer in SuSE Linux over Vista. Vista lasted about 2 hours, XP lasted around 3.5 hrs, SuSE lasted about 4.5 hours - - amazing. - - amazing that I saw 19% over XP (one of the lowest of all CPUs tested), but 57% over Vista! - - amazing that Microsoft is claiming "power savings" of Vista!!! It's worse than XP! Now, if I could only figure out how to get these kinds of fuel savings... :) john http://wagoneers.com/CS/LINUX/TCO/ ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 08:27:57 -0700 From: "Jim Blair" Subject: xj: The things you find on Craig's list! http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/299294922.html Willys on FSJ frame?
