Performance comparisons¶

D-LAN vs ApexDC++¶

Setup¶

We measured the transfer time and the number of CPU cycles for one transfer at a time of a 3.2 GiB file. This is a particular case, the performance of both systems may varies in a concurrent downloading and uploading case.

• We used two computers on a gigabit LAN.
• There is a local DC++ hub: ADCH++ 2.8.0.
• We didn't do any other operations during a transfer.
• We download/upload only one file at the same time. We cleared queued and file before each measurement (the file is deleted from the trash).

• OS: Windows 7 64bits
• Download computer CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, 4 GiB of RAM
• Upload computer CPU: Intel Core i7 860, 6 GiB of RAM
• Apex version: v1.5.2.1276 (64bits)
• D-LAN version: 1.1.0 Beta6

• Software used to count cycles: Process Hacker 2

Download speed¶

We repeated the transfer three times.

CPU Cycles¶

These values are measured in one download/upload of a 3.2 GiB file.
