Today I ran a test of my two laptops. I ran the EA Studio Reactor for 60 minutes using my normal settings. The following is the results:
Main laptop
System: 4 core, CPU 2.80GHz, 16.0GB
60 minutes, Generator = 114358, Collected = 2
60 minutes, Generator = 116435, Collected = 5
60 minutes, Generator = 115576, Collected = 3
60 minutes, Generator = 114678, Collected = 3
60 minutes, Generator = 116109, Collected = 8
Average: 4 robots collected per hour
Second laptop
System: 4 core, CPU 1.6GHz, RAM 20.0GB
60 minutes, Generator = 57265, Collected = 3
60 minutes, Generator = 50597, Collected = 5
60 minutes, Generator = 48698, Collected = 3
60 minutes, Generator = 49929, Collected = 3
60 minutes, Generator = 48915, Collected = 2
Average: 3 robots collected per hour
What I noticed is that the CPU speed is important in hour many robots are generated per hour. However, what was a surprise to me was that the only difference in how many robots actually pass all the filtering is 1 robot per hour (4 vs 3).
My next test will be to see how many robots (EA’s) are collected per hour when I run 2 Reactors on each laptop.
