NAME

MediaWiki::DumpFile::Benchmarks - Documentation on parsing speeds

ENVIRONMENT

The tests were conducted on Debian/squeeze using the vendor supplied Perl version 5.10.1. All modules were installed from CPAN and not from the Debian package archives.

The host hardware is a 4 core Intel i7 at 2.8ghz with 16 GiB of RAM and disks that can read at 100 MiB/sec.

SOFTWARE

The benchmark software is included in the MediaWiki::DumpFile distribution tarball in the speed_test/ directory.

The tested version of MediaWiki::DumpFile is version 0.2.0

Parse::MediaWikiDump version 1.0.6 is included for comparison against the original implementation.

RESULTS

All times are expressed in seconds. See the SPEED section of the MediaWiki::DumpFile documentation for an explanation of the various parsing modes.
