Re: speed values show netsurf 68k SDL is 3-5* faster as OS4 netsurf with same CPU clockrate

This is a completely bogus/meaningless comparison. Firstly, a 100MHz 68060 and a 100MHz PPC440 aren't going to be running at the same speed. Even a 100MHz 68060 and a 100MHz 68040 aren't the same speed. Secondly, the code they are running is completely different, compiled for a different target and by a different compiler, with different frontend code. Moreover, one of the processors is CISC and the other is RISC - RISC processors have to execute more code by their very nature of having a smaller instruction set. The display resolution of the test machines is also different, the OS4 ones having to do more rendering (unless screen res or window size was adjusted to 800x600x16, which I doubt, and would also impact the figures negatively as there is a known slowness issue with 16-bit in the OS4 frontend) I have no idea what this comparison is trying to prove. If you have a PATCH to improve the speed of the OS4 frontend I would be interested in that, otherwise if you have nothing constructive to add please keep it to yourself. Chris
