While the number of ticks per second is rather reliable in Pose, the sub-systems that do things like access memory and the screen don't seem to be 'regulated'. Most of my apps run perceptively faster on Pose than the actual device (up to OS 5 devices that is) even though routines that watch the number of tics to perform tasks run at about the same speed on both platforms. Keith could provide a definitive answer on this, I'm just answering based on my observations over the past few years.

(I was running the emulator on a 2 GHz machine.) I thought there was some speed governor in the emulator to keep the ticks per second approximately correct. Are you sure you're using the right rom? I also found that other roms seemed appropriate to their speed. I could get about half the number of frames per second on a Palm III (16Mhz) than I could on and Visor Platinum (33MHz) ROM. Anybody know if there actually is a speed governor in the emulator and to what extent it tracks the speed? (e.g. does it get down to the level of trying to make cpu instructions take the appropriate number of clock cycles?) Just curious. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
