Also we can see the test results of James'(quozl) at http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/245 which suggests that XO-1.5 is atleast twice as fast as XO-1. That test compared two entirely different methods of rendering the languages control panel section; one method used by Sugar 0.82.1 and the other method used Sugar 0.84.11. So your conclusion 2.5 times faster is not supported by this test either. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9325 is the best test result that I can remember that compares CPU and graphics performance, and the latest results there show XO-1 and XO-1.5 at about equal, because the bit plane depth has changed from 16 on XO-1 to 24 on XO-1.5 at the same time as the graphics subsystem became faster. The test is less relevant to Sugar though, since it is (a) full screen fill, and (b) using SDL and pygame rather than GTK+. I'd like to test your change on Sugar 0.84 (not HEAD) on XO-1 and XO-1.5 once I can understand how to measure the performance. It is more important for me that power is conserved. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel Just an FYI I am releasing a new Dextrose today. os4dx2 which will soon be available on wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose One feature is an updated cairo which seems to have decreased the render times. You might want to check it out. I have done some local testing and it seems much improved so might just render this a mute point.

[Sugar-devel] Introduction
Some of you may have already heard that I have accepted a position with ActivityCentral to be the project manager for Dextrose. It feels like I have come full circle as I started out as a volunteer maintaining the F11 for the XO-1 builds for the past 18 months. That work was very rewarding and I was glad to see OLPC step in and release official builds based on my work. The F11 for the XO-1 was also a starting point for the original Dextrose system, which Bernie Innocenti brought to fruition. Now we will be taking the original Dextrose and expanding upon it. Dextrose2 will be the result. Based on Fedora11 and Sugar 0.88 it will strive for stability, while providing deployments with a customizable product. I have already started creating builds for the new system with additional language support, and they can be found at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Dextrose . The builds will be for both the XO-1 and XO-1.5 and will be available both with Gnome and without. We have a team of developers at SEETA who will be working on this with us. Many of them are already known to the community and more will become known as they join the effort. I have already started going over the outstanding issues and know that with everyone's help we can make Dextrose the Premier system for XO deployments. The issues that need to be worked on can be found at: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/query?status=acceptedstatus=assignedstatus=newstatus=reopenedorder=prioritycol=idcol=summarycol=statuscol=typecol=prioritycol=milestonecol=componentkeywords=$love and http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/query?status=acceptedstatus=assignedstatus=newstatus=reopenedorder=prioritycol=idcol=summarycol=componentcol=statuscol=typecol=prioritycol=milestonekeywords=$extrose If you are already working on any of these tickets please send me a quick note as to which tickets you are working on and what the status is. I look forward to working with everyone. Steven Parrish smparr...@gmail.com ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
