x11perfcomp(1)             X Version 11(30 Apr 1991)             x11perfcomp(1)


NAME
      x11perfcomp - X11 server performance comparison program

SYNTAX
      x11perfcomp [-r | -ro] [-l label_file] files

DESCRIPTION
      The x11perfcomp program merges the output of several x11perf(1) runs into
      a nice tabular format.  It takes the results in each file, fills in any
      missing test results if necessary, and for each test shows the
      objects/second rate of each server.  If invoked with the -r or -ro
      options, it shows the relative performance of each server to the first
      server.

      Normally, x11perfcomp uses the first file specified to determine which
      specific tests it should report on.  Some (non-DEC :) servers may fail to
      perform all tests.  In this case, x11perfcomp automatically substitutes
      in a rate of 0.0 objects/second. Since the first file determines which
      tests to report on, this file must contain a superset of the tests
      reported in the other files, else x11perfcomp will fail.

      You can provide an explicit list of tests to report on by using the -l
      switch to specify a file of labels.  You can create a label file by using
      the -label option in x11perf.

OPTIONS
      x11perfcomp accepts the options listed below:

      -r              Specifies that the output should also include relative
                      server performance.

      -ro             Specifies that the output should include only relative
                      server performance.

      -l labelfile   Specifies a label file to use.

X DEFAULTS
      There are no X defaults used by this program.

      Joel McCormack just munged them together a bit.
