I have a byte-parsing application that I want to run on the Zynq under Linux. I've bench-marked this on my tired-out Linux web server and can perform a parse there in 4.0 uSec. I've ported this same code to the ZedBoard and found that parse times are about 48 uSecs there, a twelve-fold increase in processing time. Does this seem reasonable? I run the parse 1,000,000 times, so the timings are obvious to me, as I have to wait 48 seconds for the app to complete.
