    Well, me being who I am I do like to occassionally have a bit of fun.

    Bench marking is a comparison - it requires keeping all aspects the same except for those being compared, in this case the PC's are going to be different... so just for kicks we've now got a very simple system bench-mark comparison tool using NOD32.

    Process is as follows and assumes default NOD32 install path etc.:
    1. Download the bench mark file here and save it to c:\Bench_with_NOD32.rar (236.7KB)
    2. Run the following command by any of your favourite methods, for example Start --> Run
      Code:
      "C:\Program Files\ESET\nod32.exe" "C:\Bench_with_NOD32.rar" /adware /ah /all /arch+ /heur+ /heurdeep /log+ /mailbox+ /ntfs+ /pack+ /quarantine /scanboot+ /scanmbr+ /scanmem- /scroll+ /sfx+ /unsafe
    3. Note both the 'NOD32 version' and the 'Total scanning time' from the scanning log.
    4. Repeat on different systems making sure that the 'NOD32 version' is the same and compare the scanning times
    5. Have a coffee, beer, water or what ever else your favourite beveridge is and have a nice day :)
    Some points to keep in mind:
    • Bench_with_NOD32.rar is just a special RAR archive (actually it's not so special except that it's readily compressible)
    • It is not an indication of the performance of NOD32 since a dummy file is used that is not like you would find in real life.
    • It is not suitable for comparing different AV's.
    • Memory scanning is not used since this may penalise a system with more RAM
    • This is not a definitive system comparison method, it is indicative - ultimately just a bit of fun.
    Cheers :)

    On my main workstation the results were as follows:
    • NOD32 version 1.1695 (20060807) NT
    • Total scanning time: 19 sec

    nice! Good work. :D I'm going to test it right now...

    EDIT: Tested:
    * NOD32 version 1.1695 (20060807) NT
    * Total scanning time: 32 sec ... a little bit too slow I may say. :(

    Took forever to get it out of the rar file after the test ... AMON ftw :D

    • NOD32 version 1.1695 (20060807) NT
    • Total scanning time: 14 sec (00:00:14)

    To get the .rar file you need a download manager. :D :D (joking of course :p)

    If it is slowing down the pc, disable AH. You cannot have an excellent emulation and detection capabilities and no slow down at a time.

    It's just a very simple system benchmark comparison tool using NOD32.
    So we can compare scanning time on different PC's :) All in good fun.

    That's right! But on Brian and NOD32 user PCs scanning time was faster than mine. Perhaps my NOD32 AHs have better emulation process. :D :D :cool:

    Entirely agreed - This is not an indication of the performance of NOD32 itself, and the file being scanned is deliberately giving the emulation a good workout.
    It is not a real life example of NOD32's performance, but a comparison between the PC's....
    Later I will run it on an old clunker and then we'll see :D

    Cheers :)

    Okay i did the benchmark to on a T2300 centrino duo notebook with 1gb ram. Seems to me NOD isn't using both cores.

    My first result was from a P4 3.0HT with 512MB RAM. It was definately using hyperthreading (I checked) :)

    This is for my old clunker test bed pII350 128MB RAM etc.
    • NOD32 version 1.1695 (20060807) NT
    • Total scanning time: 119 sec
    Please remember that this is definately not a measure of the real life performance of NOD32 in any way but a comparison of hardware by using NOD32.

    Cheers :)

    as this is to "measure the speed of the system" and has nothing really to do with nod32, i think someone should move this topic to "Sub-Forums : Software, Hardware and General Services" or similar. (just my opinion)

    What ever pleases those responsible, I'm glad of it.

    Note : this is on my laptop with an Athlon XP-M processor, so this is hard to measure performance as it is a stepping processor and I still don't know how to put it in 'fullspeed' mode (meaning, full speed at all times, as opposed to now, where it speeds up as needed) :rolleyes:

    I got something like that on my desktop too (AMD-64 Cool & Quiet), it should stepup when needed, mine does.
    Think I'll test it without that option enabled, see if I get a better time or not :)
    ^ Nope I didn't, same scan time.

    Surely someone here has a newer rig that will break into the single digit range..my system is getting old.
    Pentium 3.0c running at 3.3, 1.5 gigs RAM, Raptor 10krpm SATA drive.

    Been holding on a long overdue upgrade for the Intel Quadcores to come out. :D
