- Performance Comparisons:
-
- - AvaiList 1.70 by Andrew Farmer
- - FeBBS 1.92 by Patrik Sjoberg
- - FLIT 1.00 by Gerald Albion
-
- System Tested: 40 MHz 80386DX with 128k cache RAM. 195 file areas,
- 14542 files totalling 432245924 bytes.
-
- Comparison: All three softwares were tested in various modes using the
- same list of directories on the same machine. FLIT was
- tested in both Verbose (full descriptions) and Terse
- (truncated one-line descriptions) modes, with one-pass
- new-files lists and without such lists. The other softwares
- were tested in as many equivalent modes as were available.
- The results speak for themselves - FLIT is the fastest in
- each mode!
-
- Mode | FLIT | FeBBS | AvaiList (****) |
- -------------+-------------+---------------+--------------------|
- Verbose | 1:12 | 1:31 | 2:03 |
- Terse | 1:10 | 1:21 (*) | --- (***) |
- Verbose/New | 1:30 | 1:38 | 1:57 |
- Terse/New | 1:29 | --- (**) | --- (***) |

- Notes:
-
- (*) FeBBS "Condensed" List
- (**) FeBBS "News" lists are not condensed
- (***) Availist has no equivalent of Terse mode.
- (****) It should be noted that Availist crashed on a file description that
- had a word which was too long for its description wrapper to
- handle - AvaiList started writing spaces to its output file ad
- infinitum, and the machine had to be restarted. FeBBS and FLIT
- both chopped the long word in the middle.
