Does Django tests run slower on the mac compared to linux?
- by Thierry Lam
I'm currently developing my Django projects on both:
Mac OS X 10.5, 32 bit
Ubuntu Server 9.10 64 bits (1 CPU, 512MB RAM)
Both of the above OS are using:
Python 2.6.4
Django 1.1.1
MySQL 5.1
Running 12 tests for one of my application take:
Mac: 57.513s
Linux: 30.935s
EDIT:
Mac Hardware Spec:
MacBook Pro
2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
3GB RAM
I'm running the Ubuntu OS on the same mac above through VMware Fusion 2.0.6.
You might argue that Ubuntu Server 64 bits is faster but I have observed a similar speed difference on Ubuntu 8.10 32 bits desktop edition. Even if I turn off my linux VM and other mac applications, I still experience the slowness. Has anyone else experienced this Django test speed difference across those two OS?
