well, I switched my AMD box (720be @ X4, 3.4GHz) over to ubuntu to enjoy the increased performance. Correlizer Applications 1.07 tasks which were taking 15 minutes are now completing in 13.5 minutes, which is in line with what I was expecting. What I wasn't quite prepared for was this (taken from the details link in the Computers on this account view of My account) :
win7-x64
Measured floating point speed 2815.06 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 8257.46 million ops/sec
ubuntu 11.10 64-bit
Measured floating point speed 3247.83 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 16184.35 million ops/sec
Good times.
Though after looking through the wow, you can install ubuntu from windows! thread I gather that it was the Beta WU's which were seeing a 2x speed-up from the doubled INT speed. And the server doesn't appear to send those out anymore.
Oh well, this C2 Heka core wasn't going to give me another 10% increase from clock speed anyway.
