Latest version 2.5.3.3 slower than 2.5.1.4?

writhziden · Dec 11, 2012

Has anyone else experienced a slower runtime with 2.5.3.3 than with 2.5.1.4?

I have received a few messages about that being the case, and was hoping some others might do some beta testing to determine if they are also seeing that behavior.

Run the same .dmps for 2-3 runs with each version using the same settings for each, and report back the time that is given in the final window.

I am unable to replicate it myself. Here are my settings: View attachment 46.zip (save yours before loading mine)

So far what I have found on my two systems with kernel debugger 6.2.9200.16384:

Code:

Laptop: Intel i7-2670QM @ 2.20 GHz         (60 .dmps)

2.5.3.3    718.787 s  670.384 s  680.567 s
2.5.1.4    743.999 s  745.177 s  756.013 s


Desktop: Intel Q9550 @ 2.83 GHz            (60 .dmps)

2.5.3.3    683.281 s  659.370 s
2.5.1.4    691.148 s  749.411 s


Laptop: VirtualBox Windows XP              (60 .dmps)

2.5.3.3    946.021 s  1085.04 s  1066.72 s
2.5.1.4   1066.262 s  1249.68 s  1242.17 s

A lot of data added to my previous post. I've now run this on three systems and two virtual environments and still cannot reproduce the problem...

Hi Mike -

I'll be glad to run a test.

I have 83 ZDN files in \backup

Do you want me to just overwrite 46.zdn & leave the others or delete them?

John

To use the file, click Change Settings, File -> Open -> 46.zdn and then set up your symbols path as you usually use it, and also set up the kd.exe path if need be.

Thanks John. Appreciate the help. Just don't stress over it; this isn't too imperative.

Re: BETA: Sysnative BSOD Processing Apps

11 dumps

v2.5.1.4 = 788.646 seconds

2.5.3.3 running now

Please note - I got 0x-2146697208 error on DRT download; re-tried several times. Will that throw the numbers off?

Internet issues here again, it seems.

2533 - just got same error.

dmpOptions attached for 2514 run.

jcgriff2 · Dec 13, 2012

Same 11 dumps

v2.5.3.3 = 721.399 seconds

dmpOptions for 2533 run attached.

The 11 dumps also.

writhziden · Dec 13, 2012

Shouldn't matter if there are errors downloading the DRT as long as they occurred with both versions. If the behavior is identical in both, the data should be accepted as valid. You are finding similar results to what I found.

Thanks John. :-}

jcgriff2 · Dec 13, 2012

Glad to be of help, Mike.

Code:

v2.5.1.4 = 788.646 seconds
v2.5.3.3 = 721.399 seconds

~~Could the time difference be symbol downloads?~~

EDIT: I don't think so because I ran those same 11 dumps before the test, so symbols would have been in cache.

2.5.3.3 ran faster for me -- opposite of yours.

writhziden · Dec 13, 2012

I'm actually seeing 2.5.3.3 running faster than 2.5.1.4 as well. It is other users who have reported that 2.5.3.3 is slower than 2.5.1.4, and I cannot seem to cause that to happen unless I use online symbols for 2.5.3.3 and then use the local cache for 2.5.1.4

Maybe others had issues with the symbols download or DRT download when using 2.5.3.3 and that resulted in laying blame on the apps?

Based on what was changed for 2.5.3.3, more resources are now available for the kernel debugger, so I would expect it to be faster, not slower. You and I are finding that is the case; not sure why others are seeing slower runtimes with 2.5.3.3...

jcgriff2 · Dec 14, 2012

OH... I see... Apologies, Mike.

You did say others were reporting, not your yourself.

writhziden · Dec 14, 2012

No problem, John. I'm a bit confused by the whole scenario at the moment. :confused2:
