[Crm114-general] SpamRIP vs MSVC Windows Performance help

[David I. <dav...@gm...>]

Hello All,

First off, as this is my first posting to this group, many thanks to Bill
and others for the wonderful work put into CRM114 - I am enjoying playing
with this immensely.

I've being using a recent build from within C# .NET code (will the madness
ever end?? etc.) and have felt ok so far about how to use the various
constructs of the language. Fascinating stuff.

Here's my question:

On my Windows build of Toyotomi under MSVC7 I get ok performance with all
the usual suspects in terms of optimization flags for CL etc., but nothing
like when compared to the CRM114 binary that comes down with the SpamRIP
product (http://www.spamrip.com/download.php) - different by a factor of
about 400%. A huge performance difference, especially in OSB LEARN commands.

I also compared the performance of the binaries from
http://www.jesusfreke.com/crm114/ win32bin.v2.zip and the crm114.exe that
come down in the SpamRIP package, but get more or less the same proportional
results.

Any clues or hints for getting that sort of throughput out of CRM114 on a
Windows build? 

Is there another windows fork under GPL that I missed? Apologies in advance
if I've missed something obvious.

PS I also built locally the Spamnix
(http://www.spamnix.com/images/crm114-src.tgz) tar port, but get more or
less the same performance as before, so that's not it.

Regards,
David
