The rows correspond to the linear read time (tlr), the write time (tw), the mz5 read time − corrected write time (tw − tlrmz5) and the space requirements. All of the timing values are in seconds or MB/106 data points, respectively. Columns 4 and 5 show that mz5 outperforms the mzML and mzXML formats in all respects.
mz5 | mzML | mzXML | mzML/mz5 | mzXML/mz5 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
tlr | 0.13 | 0.49 | 0.3 | 3.65 | 2.28 |
tw | 0.63 | 2.08 | 2.46 | 3.28 | 3.9 |
tw − tlrmz5 | 0.5 | 1.95 | 2.33 | 3.89 | 4.66 |
Space | 7.57 | 13.72 | 14.13 | 1.81 | 1.87 |
