- chc 14y agoNot if you were playing Crysis 3 during part of one benchmark and looking at Facebook the rest of the time.
- fijal 14y agoNo. To be honest PyPy is very sensitive to cache usage, so running any other program trashing the cache might be a serious problem (can lead to 30% performance degradation, depending on the load even if the core is unoccuppied at all)
- chc 14y agoI'm confused. You started with "No" and then continued with something that is either in agreement or orthogonal to my point.
- robert-zaremba 14y agoFor the end benchmark I've used "runlevel 3" (multiuser without window manager) to perform this tasks, to maximize cache and RAM usage.
- stefantalpalaru 14y agoThat's the spirit! You should also stop services known for spikes in CPU usage like the cron daemon and run the benchmark multiple times.
