[coLinux-devel] Slow performance.

[Óscar F. <of...@wa...>]

Hi!

I've just installed andLinux Beta 1 rc6 (02/12/2008) (minimal / XFCE
version) on WinXP SP2.

I'm really impressed with andLinux (which implies coLinux!).

However, I'm dissappointed about its performance: running a test suite
on the host machine, VMWare Workstation 6.0 (Guest: Debian Etch) and
andLinux takes this time:

Host machine: 49 seconds
VMWare: 48 seconds
andLinux: 108 seconds

The test suite consists on interpreting more than 1000 little
programs. For every program, the interpreter is executed.

The terminal is fast (it shows all text on 0.2 seconds, while VMWare
needs 2.5 seconds). I'm using the local volume (i.e. no Samba
involved). There is no shortage of RAM, neither on andLinux (uses 192 MB
and `top' shows several dozens free; the interpreter just needs about 4
MB for each run) nor on the host Machie (1GB total, 400 MB free).

Is this performance normal? The result of the current state of coLinux?
Or an andLinux specific problem?
