This completes the discussion of Rosetta Booster on this list. Its
relevance comes from a cocoa dev poster concerned about startup delay
of PPC code on Intel. A responder proposed a solution. I implemented
and tested the proposed solution.
As a Cocoa developer and a Product Manager, I am involved in a major
rewrite of a legacy Lisa/Codewarrior Pascal application and keeping
hungry users happy as best we can with a nib here and there.
As our user base migrates from PPC to Intel, I am witness to many of
their expressions as they fire up our app the first time on Intel..
and wait about 8 seconds. There is at first a pained expression as
they politely ask "why slow, wise guy?", totally blowing the expected
joy of a faster computer. I then bite my lip, explain the situation
by praising the miracle of Rosetta, silently cursing Intel, and race
back to the pile 'o code.....
Using Rosetta Booster made my app startup time immeasurable by
stopwatch. It felt as fast as PPC.
We are installing Rosetta Booster on all applicable machines until
our cocoa rewrite is available.
For more info, please, contact me off-list.
Thanks to all that have responded so far!
