My 1 GHz Thunderbird in Win98 SE showed speed improvements without putting
anything in the .ini file. I used the Advanced->Time option and noted the
following two anomalies:
1) At 512 KB and only 512 KB, the program returned the following along with
my timings:
timer 0: 1100364
timer 1: 4152504
timer 2: 3305631
...
and so on for timer #'s 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30
When I rerun the test, the numbers appearing after "timer #:" are
different, but the exact same timer #'s are outputted.
2)
FFT size v20 v21a
192 KB 0.037 0.030
224 KB 0.044 0.038
256 KB 0.048 0.039
224 KB seems to have a disproportionately small amount of improvement. I
timed around 200 iterations on 224 KB to verify that 0.038 is the fastest
time it could get.
