[MPlayer-users] Just wondering

[Alexander Strop]

Hi,

Yesterday i tested the performance from mencoder on two different 
plattforms. I compiled 1.0pre7try2 on a Itanium 1.6 with Debian 3.1 and 
on a Pentium4 Xeon 2.5 Ghz (HP Compaq DL380).
Then i encoded a Mpg2 file to Mpeg4 with mp3 sound. This file is about 4MB.
Encoding on the Itanium Machine: 1min. 15sec.
Encoding on the DL380: 45 sec.

How is this possible?

Alex
