Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration:Gzip Compression
Linux Source Tree Archiving To .tar.gz
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 3,370 public samples since 1 March 2018 with the latest data as of 3 December 2020.
Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Gzip Compression - Linux Source Tree Archiving To .tar.gz) has an average run-time of 4 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 2.1%.

User Comments
Biased?
I think this test is a little bit biased.. it creates a 2GB (zero byte) file on disk. And then compresses it with output to /dev/null.
But that means the test also depends on the disk read speed.

Pigz vs. Gzip?
I just started using the threaded gzip program named "pigz" - does this benchmark have a way to compare the two?
