The thread that won’t die – benchmarking the Macbooks. I’ve now got 2gb in this machine, so it was time to re-run the tests.
With Cocoon 2.1.8 on my machine:
rm -rf build; ./build.sh webapp
[...]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 minute 11 seconds
On Maurizio’s Macbook Pro, identical spec to mine:
Total time: 1 minute 21 seconds
On Gabriele’s new Sony Vaio running Ubuntu:
Total time: 1 minute 30 seconds
Gianugo got hold of a 1.83GHz Macbook:
Total time: 1 minute 16 seconds
On Jeroen’s Dell centrino laptop running Windows and Cocoon 2.1.9 (and no virus checker):
Total time: 1 minute 41 seconds
On Jeroen’s Dell desktop running Windows and Cocoon 2.1.9 (and a virus checker):
Total time: 9 minutes 40 seconds
With Cocoon 2.1.9 on my machine:
Total time: 1 minute 23 seconds
So … I still have a hot, vibrating, buggy laptop. But it’s fast.

yes…of course….indeed…NO like it…
I guess that probably our dear Mr. Savory forgot to mention one little thing:
we did the same benchmark at 9 o’clock, just after turning on our machines, and his wonderful, amazing, outstanding, but above all really cheap, macBook performed:
–LISTEN LISTEN–
1’39”
–LISTEN LISTEN–
Maybe it was not yet really woke up, or maybe later I just started working hard, apparently differently from our proud macbook owner
Anyway I really have to say that macbook is a really useful development tool: can you imagine how warm will you feel next winter ? And how many good, good, good vibrations?
Cheers,

Just ran a 2.1.9 build on my machine (more or less the same spec, less the RAM), and it took 1:09.
No trackback support, andrew? (link below hits my post)
Hey, I’m the fastest one! 1.07 compiling Cocoon 2.1.9 with the latest Java5. My spec: MacBook Pro 2GHz, 2GB RAM and 7200RPM disk. Having a 7200 disk instead of a stock 5400 one might explain it.
maybe you should try varying the temprature of the machine and see if the results change.
Ugo: I have the 7200 disk, so does Maurizio and Paul. We’re using Java 1.4.2 for these tests … I get in the region of 1 minute 10 seconds on 1.5.
Paul: I turned off trackback – too much spam.
Ian: I’m going to put the laptop in the freezer now
Time to upgrade movabletype, maybe? Latest version uses central blacklists and heuristics etc, which is trapping the vast majority of spam posted to mine….
Seems a shame to allow the spammers to cripple trackback..
