Re: Threads, Sockets and OSX

I have a second Mac of lower spec and slightly older version of OSX (2 CPUs
vs 4 CPUs, 10.13.6 vs 10.14.1), I'll check that out ...

It does the 100% usage followed by 0% usage that my main computer does but
the 100% usage can last minutes rather than seconds and the 0% usage runs
between 5 and 15 seconds. Overall it completes the test faster because it
spends less time at 0% usage

One possible difference is that the main computer has a normal disk and the
older machine has an SSD. I've been wondering if it's some OSX background
task that is kicking and and slowing things down. If it was disk bound then
the SSD would get past that bottleneck much faster (not to mention far
fewer files on my second mac)

To test this thesis I would need to install an SSD in my main computer,
which is very, very tempting :)
