File Decompression & Decryption:

The two RAR archives created during the compression and encryption tests were then decompressed and decrypted.

Decompression testing is actually quite good for both large and small file use, actually coming out top or at worst, it's at least as fast as the other boards in both tests.

Xvid Encoding:

We tested video encoding performance using VirtualDub-MPEG version 1.6.15 and a multithreaded version of the Xvid codec, along with the LAME MT MP3 encoder for encoding audio. We did a two-pass encode of a 15-minute 276MB digital TV recording with a target file size of 100MB.

Xvid Encoding

VirtualDub MPEG-2 1.6.15, Xvid 1.2 beta, 276MB .mpg to 100MB .avi

Xvid encoding is again slightly slower for the IX38 QuadGT, but only by a small margin during the reasonably long test.
