@fab:
btw heres your result, just seen it posted over at awnet:
so its again confirming the previous tests.
sigh, i hoped the ban will keep me off there, but it doesnt seem to work that way..
Yes. Though the time spent in I/O seems a bit too high (probably some other factor). But in the end, the X1000 is just marginally faster than the Mac mini to decode the stream (82.8s against 84.6s). I actually expected better there. I'll just wait a bit to be sure this test was also done with AltiVec (even if it wouldn't be drastically different with or without it, unlike LAME).
