| 755980 | 2009-03-15 21:03:00 | I should be OK to compile it myself. Turns out that despite the fact that I have both Microsoft Visual Studio and Dev-c, neither of them complie straight C, only C++! Ah well, off to google I go. Also, dyewitness, your one works pretty good, but seems to go on the go-slow, and sometimes locks up Firefox. Although I am generating 500000 strings! |

Aha, I didn't bother testing that sort of volume, only tried 5000. Best off going for the compiled program then. |

| 755982 | 2009-03-16 05:06:00 | ...although I am generating 500000 strings!Just tested this quantity - it takes on average 0.215 seconds to generate an 8.2MB file containing 500,000 strings using the format string 'nlnlnlnlnlnlnlnl' (8 numbers, 8 letters). Further testing with larger quantities suggest that this will scale in a more or less linear fashion, provided your storage backend can keep up. Test environment is Gentoo Linux, custom kernel 2.6.28-gentoo-r1-neith-1, compiled using gcc-4.3.3 with -O2, amd64 arch. No processor-specific optimisations. System is C2D E6550 (2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB) running at stock speeds with 4GB DDR2-800 ram.
