WinDbg 6.11.1.402 versus WinDbg 6.2.8229.0 Huge Time Disparity

Are you using kd or dumpchk to check files?

IDK if it makes a difference or not - time.

kd. Doubt dumpchk would be faster, but I'll check.

EDIT: 2 seconds faster for less info, still takes 12 seconds per .dmp with online symbols. If I remember correctly, 6.11 takes 3-4 seconds per .dmp with online symbols with my internet.


Do you want a copy of x86 WinDBG 6.11?

You can get it here: http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.11.1.404.msi


Thank you! :thumbsup2:

How did you know that?

Yes, Richard, how did you find that? THANK YOU!!!

I was able to find more with a Google search thanks to your genius: http://www.google.com/#q=site:msdl....24fb5637e33ac3&bpcl=35466521&biw=1440&bih=666

Found this WER file from 8/14 - Windbg 6.2.8229.0 crashed

Just listing the WER file here as it gives us a glimpse at the other drivers used -

I'll revive this discussion a minute. Found WinDbg 6.11 x64 and downloaded it. Wow, it's much faster. Ran two sets of identical dumps with identical settings with the app version 2.4.8.0. Significant difference. This needs to be investigated further. I've attached the output folders so you can see the difference and the settings, dumps used etc.

Right, just emailed the WinDBG Product Team about this. They keep asking for bug reports, so I asked about this in the same place. It isn't exactly a bug, and I didn't classify it as such at this stage, just sent them an email enquiring about it. I used lots of the evidence posted here, so thank you all for that.

We shall see...

Thanks Richard, good idea!

We'll see, only time will tell....
 
Thanks Stephen and Richard.

I'm running 6.2 more now due to the links to carrona.org BugCheck info being more robust with it, so I would love to see the kernel debugger developers speed it up.
 
I also notice that runDmps time output is missing... I have fixed that in the next release now. :-}
 
Just to note:

6.11 did not list storahci.sys as probable cause - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/showthread.php/4584-Watchdog-Errors?p=34104#post34104

6.11 -
Code:
Probably caused by : [COLOR=#ff0000]ntkrnlmp.exe[/COLOR] ( nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+13ca8 )

6.2.8229 -
Code:
Probably caused by : [COLOR=#ff0000]storahci.sys[/COLOR] ( storahci!P_NotRunning+e7 )

Yes.... 6.11 doesn't do a good job on the new 0x133 bugcheck.

I'll let them know about that later (and some of the other issues we have had on 6.2, such as symbol issues also).

So far, however, a deadly silence on my email to them about speed. Not even a confirmation. I think I got the right email address.

Anyway, it has only been a few days. No need to be concerned yet.
