> Athlon 2.6G +Gentoo
Here are tests on a Celeron 400 Windows 2000 then Welcome to the CPU war for StrLoadFile.. Please wait... test 1 (char) execution time: 9287434 test 2 (blokread 1) execution time: 267230 test 3 (blockread fsize) execution time: 262710 test 7 (blokread tHandle) execution time: 265247 test 4 (tStringList) execution time: 2660387 test 1 ln (tTextStream) execution time: 624126 test 2 ln (readln) execution time: 831215 It appears the new Athlon processor takes extreme advantage of tHandle (test 7) while an old Celeron doesn't. Or, unless it is Linux versus Windows. I guess we can tell that test7, test3 and test2 are fastest so far. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
