1.0G DP G4              :  1.94s
1.8G Single PM G5 :  1.55s
1.25 PB G4 12"        :  1.39s  <- Strange result

I now, comparisons between Mac and PC are old refrains,but I would like to share this home-made simple stupid benchmark with you:

I know, it is not a scientific benchmark, but all in all it involves populating a listbox with data, and is true that's what we do must of the time with REAL Basic in REAL world applications, isn't it?

today I wrote and compiled the following little lines of code

-------------------------------

  dim ind as integer
  dim ris as double

  ris = Microseconds
  for ind = 1 to val(100000)
    lista.addrow str(microseconds)
  next

  result.text = str((Microseconds - ris)/1000000)

-------------------------------

a quite cheap Pentium 4 -  3 GHz - 768 MB RAM:      5.25 seconds !

G5 double 2 GHz, 2,5 MB RAM:      12.2 seconds !!

MacBook Pro, Dual core 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM: 27.2 seconds !!! ( OK, I know, Rosetta... )

MacBook Pro, Dual core 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP installed on a virtual machine with Parallels Workstatio Beta: 2.1 seconds !!!!!!!!!!!!


So I'm here asking, please please please someone explain me why some things, like handling listboxes, are so sadly, incredibly, unacceptably slower on Mac Os compared with Windows?

thank you,
