Speed difference between hotspot and cellular

Looking at an iPad mini, I have a hot spot on my phone, so I'm wondering how much of a speed difference there might be using a Mini with an iPhone 5 hotspot with AT&T and AT&T cellular on the Mini.

Could someone please explain the difference between 3g and cellular please. Many thanks.

Please could someone explain the difference between an i pad with wi fi + 3g and wi fi + cellular, thank you

Older iPads got 3G service and were called Wi-Fi + 3G. Newer iPads can connect to faster cellular networks and those are given different names by the major carrier so to simplify things Apple calls the newer models Wi-Fi + Cellular.
iPads with 3G or Cellular are NOT used like a mobile phone. They do not make phone calls or send SMS or MMS text messages, They do connect to the data network and can connect to the web.

Real world performance/speed difference between 3ghz and 3.2

Hello,
I have a 2008, (not clovertown) Harpertown 3.0ghz Mac Pro. I wanted to know if its feasible to upgrade the cpus to the 3.2 ones? Also, what is the REAL WORLD speed/performance difference between the 3.0 and 3.2? I am so stressed out over this that I really need to have an answer to this.
Not that I am going to buy the 3.2 processors, just wanting to see what I am missing here in terms of percentage overall between my mac pro and a 3.2ghz mac pro from 2008.
Thank you,

You realize that by now you can probably guess what some of our answers might be?
Real world... well, in the real world you drive to work stuck in traffic most of the time, too.
Spend your money on a couple new solid state drives.
You want this for intellectual curiosity, so look at your Geekbench versus others.

INternet speed difference between iMac and MBP

I have an imac 27" that is barely one year old and a three year old MBP. Today, I signed up for faster Fios internet service which is supposed to be a maximum of 25 Mbs both up and down. I then checked the speed on my iMac and see I am averaging about 10 Mbs down and about 8 Mbs up. I am not that concerned that I am not getting the theoretical maximum performance. For one thing I am not hardwired to my router but am using wireless g. I also ran the Mac internet tuner that seemed to actually increase the speed somewhat.
I then checked my MBP that is sitting right next to my iMac. I am getting around 15 Mbps down and about 17 Mbps up. I repeated this several times as I did for the iMac. I am surprised at the iMac being so much slower (about 33% slower). I can only assume the hardware in the MBP is better for wireless communication than in the iMac. Can someone explain why this is so?
thanks,
Shannon

Noticeable speed difference between 5400 and 7200?

My Mac dealer suggests two HD upgrades for the new Mini:
Either the 5400 rpm WD5000BEVT
or
HD intern Momentus 320 GB Sata 2.5" 7200 RPM 16MB
Anybody knows if the WD5000BEVT offers any speed speed advantages worth mentioning over the standard Mini disks?
With the HD intern Momentus 320 GB Sata 2.5" 7200 RPM 16MB, I'm not sure about the extra heat and consequent fan noise.
I do use FCP 6, but no other Studio applications.
Thanks,

The greater density of the platters on the 500GB drive will make it faster than a 320GB 5400rpm drive compared to a 320GB 7200rpm drive, though the latter will still be faster. I'd go with the 500GB drive (which I did end up doing with my MBP) due to greater capacity, lower noise, and it's still fast.

WRT54G2 v1 - Substantial Speed Difference Between Wired and Wireless Connection

Hi everyone,
I have a WRT54G2 v.1 router connected to an RCN Cable Modem. My download transfer rate direct from the cable modem is 18 Mbps. Thankfully, I can get the same download rate when I plug my laptop into a wired ethernet connection from the router. However, the wireless connection only gets a download rate of 0.8Mbps. Also, my wireless card is pretty new (Intel 4965AGN) and has the latest driver (I can get far higher download rates at mobile hotspots, for instance). Here is what I've tried with the router:
- I've upgraded the router firmware to the latest build (Version 1.0.04, 07/08/2009).
- I've tried multiple channels on the network (1, 6, 11).
- I use WPA Security.
- Upon advice from the Linksys live chat support, I've changed the MTU settings to manual and set them to 1300.
- They also recommended that I change the following settings: “RTS Threshold” – 2304 “Fragmentation Threshold” – 2304 “Beacon Interval” – 50
- And of course: I've got my own SSID. The router is 5 feet off the ground. There are no other wireless devices that would cause interference. The router is not near large metal objects, fish tanks, or any other physical obstruction.
Is there anything else I can do? Thank you so much in advance for reading. I really appreciate it.

Also, is there anything to the fact that only the download rate seems to change?

Speed Difference between SQR and PL/SQL

Hi
I have converted a whole SQR report code into PL/SQL. The code includes extracting data from tables and then writing them to the extract files. What we've done is we've put the entire logic into PL/SQL within stored procedures and only write to the extract files within the SQR by calling the procedures through SQR. Now the problem we are facing is the timing issue whereas the whole idea was to increase the perfomance.
What takes maybe3 hours to finsh the job in SQR is taking the double time in PL/SQL. I just have a question that before i insert into my rpt tables from where i extract data in the SQR to be written to the extract file, i am doing a lot of manipulation on the variables. Like i have about 10-12 NVLs, RPADs, TRIMS going on just before inserting those variables in the table . I just want to find out is that what is taking so long. We've checked the indexes, used the Hints, the speed is still the same.
Any help right now will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all.

What is the difference between SWF and F4V in the context of Streaming or progressive Download?

Hello everybody,
I am absolutely a beginner in working with Captivate and furthermore my technological know how is not that good.
So, I have problems to understand if the export formats SWF and F4V are both capable to be published in the Internet as streaming video and as progressive Download? Well so, I do not really understand the difference between streaming and progessive download either?
Furthermore I was asking myself if this issue depends on how I imported flash videos (there are these two options) in my Captivate project during the production phase?
I would be very thankful for some helping information!
Greetings,
Mareike the beginner

Welcome to our community
I'm not certain I fully understand the differences myself, but will toss out what I believe to be true about the formats. Hopefully, if I'm incorrect in my bellief, someone with more definitive knowledge will chime in.
It was explained to me a couple of years back and is my understanding that "streaming" only applies to a video based format such as F4V, FLV and it doesn't apply to SWF. With SWF, you may specify a preload value. So when the SWF transmits from the web server to the PC, a certain percentage has to be received before play begins. But that's not streaming. It's preloading.
For streaming to occur, the web server establishes a communication channel between the server and the destination PC. This channel is monitored to see what speed is in use. Only enough information is then transmitted to be comfortable at that speed. If the speed improves during the connection, the server serves data at a faster rate. If the connection degrades, the information transmitted is also scaled back so as to accommodate the lower speed.
With SWF, after it has all been downloaded, a savvy user is able to poke around in their temporary internet files and save the SWF for play later. With streaming, this isn't possible because as the stream is viewed, it evaporates from memory.
Seriously hoping others will chime in here to confirm or deny this.
Cheers... Rick

AppleScript speed difference between 10.4 & 10.5

This post is related to a question I posed in March 2009 (https://discussions.apple.com/message/9226100) regarding the speed difference between AppleScript text handling in OS X 10.5 compared with 10.4.11.
I have recently written a script to search through a text file which is an xml file exported from WorkGroup Manager. The file, which is approximately 1.8 MB, contains all the user names on the school server (just over 1720 of them), their settings and any other information we have added. After adapting some script ideas (using text delimiters and offsets) which I found on the internet to assist with counting the number of users and searching through the information of each one, one at a time, I have a script which works far in excess of my expectations in terms of speed when run under OS X 10.4, but runs slower than molasses in winter under 10.5.
The script counts the number of accounts, extracts each user's log-in name and also their actual name (which we have entered under a 'general info' or 'comments' field - I can't remember exactly where, but it is stored in the file), makes up a complete list of all account names (with the actual name, if present) and also makes up a subset of this information into a separate list which contains only the log-in names of those whose actual name has not yet been recorded on the server, then saves both lists to separate text files.
My original attempts, using some rather clumsy text searching and comparison techniques, took about 1-2 minutes to go through the whole procedure. After some internet searching, head-scratching and a bit more more work, the finished script, when run on my G5 under OS X 10.4.11, takes less than 3 seconds to do all I have described above, including the writing to text files. To say I was pleased would be an understatement!
Because the school/work environment, where the script would be run, is all OS X 10.5 or higher, I thought I should test it out under at least OS X 10.5. The script was developed on my DP 2.5GHz G5 with 8GB RAM running OS X 10.4.11. Using a fresh, clean installation of 10.5 I ran the script and was extremely disappointed. After letting it run for more than 20 minutes and still not finishing, I force quit AppleScript and reduced the number of accounts in the file. 40 accounts took 3 seconds, 60 accounts took 6 seconds, 80 took 11 seconds, 100 took 19 seconds and 120 took 27 seconds. I eventually let the script run right through - total time taken to process 1720 users was 65 minutes, compared to 3 seconds under 10.4.11!
Given that it was tested on the same Mac, with the same amount of RAM, using the same script and the same original text file, the only variable left (that I can think of) is the change of OS version - 10.4.11 vs 10.5.
As was pointed out to me in my previous post, AppleScript in OS X 10.5 handles all text as Unicode and has a greater overhead in processing time as a result. I have implemented the various bits of advice offered by respondents to my original post and changed the way I handled lists, etc. Obviously, if the script works so speedily under 10.4.11, I must have done something right in terms of code optimization/efficiency. It's when that exact same script is run under OS X 10.5 that it slows down incredibly. I even tried it on a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running 10.5.8 - it still took 40 minutes and Activity Monitor showed CPU usage by Script Editor constantly above 80% (often well above 90%). Saving the script as an application made no difference in the time taken.
Does anybody have any knowledge about what makes AppleScript Unicode-only text handling so slow? In this case, it is 1300 times slower! Is there any way of coercing/restricting the text handling/parsing to ASCII? If I really have to, I will set up a humble eMac at school with 10.4 on it just to handle large text files quickly with AppleScript, but I would prefer to be able to do it on the normal work Macs which have 10.5 or later on them. As mentioned, under 10.4.11 the script processes the 1.8MB text file with 1720 users and writes results to two files - all within 3 seconds, so I'm not really looking for coding suggestions unless they are directly related to what has changed in AppleScript under OS X 10.5. Without sounding too smug, the script works properly and speedily (at least in 10.4). I really would like to learn about the changes in AppleScript in OS X 10.5 and how to cope with or work around those changes.

Getting some text in a variable that contains more than 60000 characters will be slower on Leopard,
but I don't know why it's slower

Wireless speed difference with WEP and WPA2?

I am connecting to my FiOS router wirelessly, since I was new on wireless networking, I did lots of reading they all say WEP encryption is flawed, and WPA2 should be used instead. So I changed the router's default WEP to WPA2 the same day I got FiOS installed. When I check about 10 of my neighbor's wireless networks, 8 of them using WEP, 1 has Security Disabled(D'oh), and I am the only one using WPA2-personal. My question is will I see any connection speed difference between using WEP and WPA2?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

in every day use, your experience will vary. There is more "going on" with WPA and WPA2 than with WEP, such as message checking and encryption key changes for each data transmission, so these, combined with other possibilities inherent in computer-connected-to-internet use, can slow you down. Another factor: There will be more administrative overhead to use WPA or WPA2. such as if you ever have to reset the router (to default settings), the default is WEP, so you have to go into the router to then chage it (or import a config file you previously saved on your PC). AND If you need to call verizon tier one tech support, they only support default settings. Their premium service is called Expert Care.

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"

Difference between SIP200 and SIP400

Hello.
Is there anyone who can explain what exactly BIG difference between SIP200 and SIP400 ?
They have same four bays, support almost same wan interface cards.
Please help me : )

Hi,
The difference is mainly speed:
The Cisco 7600 series router is an edge aggregation router, and the SIPs provide a cost-effective solution for customers seeking moderate- to high-port density and line rate services:
•The Cisco 7600 SIP-200 provides WAN edge aggregation through lower-speed and low-density SPAs for network environments requiring regional office connectivity to headquarters, or collapsed LAN/WAN deployment.
•The Cisco 7600 SIP-400 provides higher-speed, high-density link aggregation for network environments requiring leased line and metro aggregation.
•The Cisco 7600 SIP-600 provides a high-speed interface for WANs and metro aggregation.
