Performance

-----------

|
-Performance characteristics of ZuluSCSI differ depending on the hardware version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Additionally, on older, slower computers, particularly 68000 Macs with 8-16MHz CPUs, performance will be gated by the speed of your CPU, and the local bus between the CPU and your SCSI controller.

|
|
|
-With ZuluSCSI V1.1, and verbose log messages disabled (debug DIP switch OFF), expected SCSI performance is ~3.5 MB/s read and ~2 MB/s write.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-With ZuluSCSI V1.0, and verbose log messages disabled (debug DIP switch OFF), expected SCSI performance is 2.4 MB/s read and 2 MB/s write, assuming you're using a fast enough machine,
|
|
|
-With ZuluSCSI Mini (V1.0), and verbose log messages disabled (default, unless you enable it in zuluscsi.ini),
|
|
|
-expected SCSI performance is 2.4 MB/s read and 2 MB/s write.

|
-Slow SD cards or a fragmented filesystem can slow down access. The use of Speed Class 4 SD cards may result in the bottleneck being the SD card itself. We recommend using Speed Class 10 or above SDHC-marked cards.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Seek performance is best if image files are contiguous.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For ExFAT filesystem this relies on a file flag set by PC.
|
|
|
-Current versions of exfat-fuse on Linux have an [issue](https://github.com/relan/exfat/pull/101) that causes the files not to be marked contiguous even when they are.
|
|
|
-This is indicated by message `WARNING: file HD00_512.hda is not contiguous. This will increase read latency.` in the log.
