#19366: Apple GCC pathologically slow -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: dave@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- * Install openssh with macports * time an scp some large-ish directory from a remote host * launch a linux VM on the same hardware * time the same scp * compare My results: openssh on the Mac is roughly half the speed of openssh on Linux. Now: * install gcc43 and gcc_select with macports * gcc_select mp-gcc43 * {{{port upgrade -f openssh}}} * run the timing test again My results: timing approximately identical to Linux. My conclusions: When MacPorts is installed, it should force-install and use a stock gcc. Failing that, all the installation guides should be updated to note that you might want to do that before installing anything else. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19366> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
