This time I would compare, how much CPU time will my "toy program" need on different machines. I would to make it show, how many percent of CPU time was needed, if this can be possible. Why? Because I'm not going to make it "as fast as possible" - max. 50 frames per second will do, and there's no need for more - but still I'm interested, how much processing power it'll need to achieve these 50 frames. And how much will be still left for me (DX-Forth has multitasking support). I would to test it on my Sempron 2 GHz, and on... very old 386SX25. > But I'm usually interested in more than CPU load.

You're right - but I've got to start with "just something", and it can be then developed further. -- Z. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
