It's slower on the machine that is supposed to be faster!
Solved
FME runs slower on one machine vs. another
Best answer by fmelizard
Comparing program running times across different systems is hard to do.
If you see performance differences, here are some questions to ask.
- Are you using the same build?
- Are you using the same bit (32 vs 64)?
- Does each install of FME have the same access to the source/destination data?
- Are you using the same operating system?
- Are you using the same hardware?
- Is the source data located on SSD or HDD?
- Is one system running antivirus and the other is not?
- Is there contention for memory, disk, network, CPU, or other limiting resources?
- Are there other processes running?
You might interrogate the log files. Is there a slowdown across the whole processing or in one specific area? If it is in one specific area, then you might be able to identify the problem and resolve it. If it is across the whole processing time, then that might be harder to resolve.
In general, performance benchmarking is a hard problem. Many factors need to be static and those that cannot be controlled need to be minimized. Using different machines destroys most controls.
