WinRAR 4.01 Windows & 7-zip Benchmarks on Wine...

[JuanPabloCuervo]

Winrar for linux does not have Benchmark.
same with 7z.

have installed Winrar & 7zip 32-bits for windows,
could not install 64-Bit versions.

*did not installed in KXStudio 10.x Generic Kernel...
*but installed ok in KXStudio 10.x with RT Kernel.
also Ubuntu 10.x generic kernel.

Board:
MSI X58 Eclipse sli
i7 920
with Visa sp1 x64 Winrar 4 benchmark did: 4040kb/s
with W7 x64 did: 3030kb/s (some cpu were unused in taskmanager)

Linux amd64 Wine 1.3.26 does: 2060kb/s

the difference is 64 bit Winrar vs. 32-Bit Winrar...

similar happens with 7zip benchmark. did like ~16.000 in Windows,
does ~8000 in Wine.
i know 64-Bit is faster.
but that much?
could be a kernel issue?
a memory issue?

Wine Bug: can`t install 64-Bit WinRar or 7zip.
to see if its a memory issue.

other benchmarks run ok in Wine...
for example:
Unigine Tropics 1.3
Linux OpenGL vs. Wine OpenGL.

How many treads were used by wine and how many were used by windows? Just a small example: using 4 and 6 threads in wine. It's a small improvement, but I only have 4 cores and threads. Your cpu might use 4 cores and 8 threads, if you haven't done that already. These tests where done using the command line version 9.13. The wine version is current git.

The wine version seems to be faster than the native 32bit version. There might also be differences in the compiled 7zip executables (different optimization options?).

These show the cpu usage (%), R/U (MIPS), Rating (MIPS). On the left side compressing, on the right side decompressing.

How fast is your native linux executable? Could you try different thread counts and compare them?

Native faster than Wine... but not much.
RT Kernel Faster than Generic.

$ 7z b -mmt40

similar happens with Passmark Performance Test 7 32-Bits-.
