Me neither, I am just curious. I guess you mean one real process ( my app doesn't use threads anyway) . I do get the feeling that even accounting for this that the RB compiler probably isn't optimizing as much as it could ( if at all ) for Intel. It seems the only speed benefit I am seeing is due to the increased clock speed ( this would account for around 1.7X ) . The memory bus is also significantly faster than a PowerBook - that would account for the remaining 33X factor.
The conclusion I make is that the change in CPU architecture has made NO difference to the running of a single threaded natively compiled RB app. On 10/10/06 14:30, "Trausti Thor Johannsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I really don't want to disagree.
