HDT is kind of discontinued... I didn't had time to work on it since a
couple of years.
It lacks of many updates to be considered valid on recent systems.

That said, adding a kind of bogomips to the report could have been an idea yes.
But adding a full-featured benchmark was kind out of the scope of HDT.
There is already plenty of tools doing that perfectly.

Hi, Thanks for the report.

Now it would make sense to know if some forks are still living,
If yes would they like to merge in a team repo like @abandonware .

The code is still part of the syslinux repo so the code is not abandonned but only not actively developped.

So I think we can close this issue, since the code is still in syslinux

HDT source code isn't anymore available on syslinux :(

The official, latest and stable code is available in the Syslinux tree syslinux.git, under /com32/hdt.

https://git.zytor.com/syslinux/syslinux.git/

Development is active in the following trees:

• Erwan's tree: https://git.zytor.com/users/erwan/hdt.git/
• Pierre's tree: https://git.zytor.com/users/pam/hdt-pierre.git/

Is there any mirror leaving in github or fork ?

Syslinux development is abandoned too: https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Syslinux_Project
I don't know if it's useful to continue Syslinux development but part of Syslinux like HDT would be very interesting to continue as a separated new project.
