What are you talking about?
Ian asked where I got my results from.
And I simply was suggesting, that , in general, don't bother with a mac *for* indigo itself if you want the most speed.
I don't have anything against macs or osx.

Blender is noted to follow the same results - it's slowest on OSX out of the three. (Going by user reports, usually they're comparing optimized builds)
Eventually i'll pick up a mac mini (see, the ONLY mac that's worth it - you can't get the same thing on the pc side) and i'll test it out myself
It depends on the Mac.
Were they the Intel or PPC based ones? If it was the first, was threading activated? I could see them coming in last without threading enabled.

The Maxwell 1.1 speed test table is quite interesting. The same user (aitraaz) posts times for a MacPro 2x5150 (2.66Ghz, dual-core) ... the XP64 time is 39mins and the OSX10 time is 45 mins.

Of course, this could be a configuration issue as above.

Again, I wasn't just pulling it out of my ass - for some reason OSX is slower doing high-end computing - the windows version and linux version end up being faster on the same exact machine.
It's not a *huge* difference, but a few minutes here and there add up.

Please, Deus...
Here is Indigo and neither CS nor HL nor anything like that.

maybe some of you think about if the code made for windows could be more optimized than the mac version.
that is something the operating system cannot influence at all!!!

I'd be amazed if a company that markets a renderer on multiple platforms maintained more than one copy of the core rendering code. Talk about making more work for oneself!
Still, stranger things have happened
