Mac OS X 10.5、Ubuntu 8.10性能大比拼

xblues

各种各样的性能测试见多了，不过今天的两个主角有些特别：一方是苹果的Leopard Mac OS X 10.5.5，另一方是Linux阵营的杰出代表Intrepid Ibex Ubuntu 8.10。
硬件平台使用一台Mac Mini，配置包括Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz双核心处理器、945M+ICH7M芯片组(GMA950集成显卡)、1GB DDR2内存、日立80GB SATA硬盘等等，屏幕分辨率1680×1050。
除了正常安装Mac OS X 10.5.5，同时还借助BootCamp安装Ubuntu 8.10的x86 32位版和x64 64位版。测试过程中完全保持系统默认设置，不过关闭Ubuntu Compiz。测试软件采用本周初刚刚发布的Phoronix Test Suite 1.4，代号Orkdal，大量组件能充分反应系统各方面的性能水平，而且均符合GPLv3规范。

两个编译测试中Ubuntu都是大胜Mac，可能是因为Ubuntu用的是最新版GCC 4.3，而苹果提供的还是GCC 4.0。

Bonnie++磁盘性能测试：不管持续写入还是随机读取，Mac都明显好得多，而且读写性能基本一致；Ubuntu还是64位版稍好一些。大概和双方使用的文件系统不同有关，Mac是Journaled HFS+，而Ubuntu用的是EXT3，不知道升级到EXT4会改善多少。

GnuPG文件加密测试的赢家仍是Mac，不过64位Ubuntu落后的幅度很小。

综合性能Ubuntu又一次取胜，64位版更是达到了Mac的两倍多。

小结：
在这场难得一见的较量中，两大平台互有胜负，实力基本相当：Mac OS X 10.5.5拿下9项、Ubuntu 8.10赢得13项，其中64位版占11项。
Mac OS X 10.5.5领先的领域包括OpenGL、磁盘读写、SQLite数据库等，Ubuntu擅长的则是编译和BYTE Unix Benchmark。音频视频编码、PHP XML性能的差距不大，而在Java环境中各有输赢。
展望未来，苹果在Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6上投入了大量资源，意欲使之成为一个更干净、性能更强的操作系统，具体地说将会降低磁盘和内存占用、增强64位核心、改善整体性能和效率。该系统预计会在2009年年中发布。
Jaunty Jackalope Ubuntu 9.04按惯例会在2009年4月发布，新功能包括更好的网络服务集成、启动性能提升以及其他性能优化等等。

不错，非常直观。

Mac OS的图形性能胜出在意料之中，ubuntu用来做运算、后台服务器还是不错的

我正在和Mac热恋中。。。。Mac是非常理想的R&D环境

xblues

我觉得mac的流畅性比windows好，可实际上我还是喜欢windows，对我来说windows的可控性更好，mac的底层方面被苹果定得太死了吧？
mac和linux同源，老乞丐你是不是用mac做linux开发呀？做windows开发恐怕有困难。

coredump

mac和linux不同源，发展历程基本没有交集。

我用mac主要用来学习，玩，写点mac程序，玩玩iphone sdk.

IBM在北京召开的OpenOffice.org大会上宣布，Lotus将全面支持Mac OS和Ubuntu Linux。Michael Karasick（IBM Lotus中国开发试验室主管）称“支持Mac和Ubuntu是我们对开源社区的长期承诺”。

最早从Red Hat Linux 7.0一路到9，之后Fedora Core，再到FC 5,6...一直到9，中间也夹杂这其他的distro入Debian/Slackware/Mandrake/Magic/Gentoo，也算是一个GNU/Linux老鸟玩家了，当然和oz里10年+的骨灰级还是没法比迁移到Ubuntu这个distro下，数来也有3年了，从6.06LTS到现在的 8.10 Intrepid Ibex，一路的感觉是Ubuntu在推Linux桌面方面的贡献，以及Ubuntu distro本身的进步是有目共睹的。某些方面，比如桌面特效(compiz fusion)我觉得已经完全超越Windows Vista那些无聊的特效，即使是OSX Leopard在其面前也显得苍白（但是Leopard中expose和spaces绝对实用+够用，并且稳定，Compiz偶尔还是有些小问题，小则程序crash，大则X完蛋，好在基本不影响使用）

现在由于工作需要，基本上主流的OS都玩过，现在更是经常在OSX和GNU/Linux还有Windows之间游荡，谈不上特别喜欢哪个。各个OS各自都有自己的优缺点，短期内谁也没法干掉谁替代谁，都有自己存在的价值。只是我个人越来越讨厌Microsoft，还有Windows，能不用就不会去碰M$的收费软件，实在是有时候无奈被迫用。其实本人还算是从 M$里打滚出来的... 我得说一句，只要M$想+管理得当，这个航母还是能做出好东西来的。千万不要以为它真的没落了。

Ubuntu/其他Linux distro更适合用来跑服务，这点我想大家都没有异议吧。我也会有25%左右的时间用Ubuntu做workstation，总体感觉小问题还是有的，算是拿来锻炼动手能力 反正我现在主要是拿来狂下BT和电驴的，Transmission+aMule 目前再也无法去适应非APT包管理的发行版本了，吃够了RPM的苦。听死党说ArchLinux的包管理也很牛，只是没有时间再去捣腾了

OSX拿来学习新事物，读/写文档，浏览信息，处理图像和视频，用着确实赏心悦目，连我LP都操作的得心应手。另外字体渲染也是apple的王牌。但是长期用只用OSX会导致动手能力下降，因为实在是太"傻瓜"了...

不多写了，我知道这里有高人在，俺7就不来班门弄斧了。咱就是来澳洲混饭吃的

本来昨天发，居然没发出来，说我注册不满24小时...汗

这里高人多不多我不知道，不过愿意发言的高人不多，欢迎掺乎！
我看你签名是Dream Weaver 是做网页的那个DW么？这个还得需要Windows吧？奥，MAC也可以.......

我刚刚安装了CS4版本，越来越顺手了！
当然还有改进的余地! 感觉现在操纵CSS的方式还是不够直观，尤其是DIV的修改，还是要了解DIV的各个属性的。

MAC版本的CS4 XXX搞定没有？我一直还停留在CS3，因为现在最常用的还是PS和Acrobat，新特性并不值得我去升级，懒得去弄了。

Mac OSX is based on BSD not Linux.
I think OSX is one of the better OS on the market. You can still use a lot of linux software on OSX.
The advantage OSX has over linux is optimization. Because Apple controls what software/hardware goes into the system, they can do a lot optimization and write tight drivers for performance. Linux distros are getting bloated these days so performance is probably no long its strong suite.

Yeah, we often criticize MS loves to control everything, they makes you buy everything from them. Apple is only 100 steps further compare to MS. That's why I don't like products from Apple.... such as iphone, ipod, i-something. Cause I have to use itune which I hate so much!

Tux

Agree to u 2.

In some distros, performance/stability may not be the advantage. While for server, it's still strong because IBM/Oracle push very hard. Frequently upgrade of the Kernel would be an annoying problem for some admins. FreeBSD or other BSD distros might be better for those guys.

But the problem with OSX is that it is based on BSD but it is not open source and apple does not contribute much to the open source community. That's no good. Less than 10% of the codes are written by Apple.

My opinion is that it's dull to use OSX all the time, so buy an EEE PC like netbook or a Laptop PC (Linux/Windows) with you. Just to keep improving troubleshooting/tuning skills

I am expecting the ZFS - The Best FS I can think of, to be introduced into Snow Leopard anyway. In Leopard we can only read ZFS FS.

OSX market share is booming. Microsoft is dozing

黑山老妖

Vista was such a failure, even MS itself admits semi-openly. This gives others more time to creep up on MS.
OSX is not my favourite OS. Actually I don't have a favourite OS.
Of the ones I used (dos, most windows versions, various linux distros from way back to present, mac OS, OSX, solaris), I think Solaris is very good for what it's intended to do but SUN lost the hardware and price battle. That's a real pity. Linux is good as a server OS but MS Windows is not far behind now in terms of stability. Windows XP is probably the only real viable universal desktop OS.

xblues

I actually don't mind using Vista comparing to XP. Can't go back to XP. Vista seems much cooler! However, Vista isn't as cool as Leopard, even me as a fan of MS, have to admit this! Also Linux has been improved so much during past years.

Anyway, I really looking forward the next version of Windows ---- Windows 7. It will definitely close the gap between Leopard and Vista/XP, after I read a few feedback of reviewing the pre-released beta version.

Not a big fan of eye candies.
I am the type of person that's favours function over form. Probably because of my background in servers.

xblues

I agree, from the server prospective, different OS has it's own advantages and disadvantages. Requirement decides everything.

In June I went to TechEd 2008 @ Orlando. I met Mark Russinovich.

me: "So Mark, is Windows 7 going to be thin or fat?"
mr: "What do you mean?"
me: "I mean, Vista is fat. Actually a bit too fat. XP is thin."
mr: "Oh. 7 will be fat. You know, it's based on the same kernel as Vista, and we're adding more functionalities."
me: "oh."

I wonder how fat it will be. 40G disk space for basic install? Where is so-called WinFS?

xblues

I don't think they mentioned that they were going to provide WinFS which is such a shame. I really look forward this feature.

It is said to be introduced into Longhorn, but where is it? Not sure if it will be in 7 though.

Anyway, don't set high expectation on WinFS.

It's actually refreshing to hear the word Longhorn again. With WinFS, I don't know, NTFS works just fine it seems; and how important are file systems nowadays for client OSes?

xblues

for the first time, WinFS will actually introduce database to file system. File system is getting more and more complex that it has to be managed like a database. It would be very efficient when looking for some keywords among meg-data, if using a database to manage the file system.
