Hi Jocke, Take a look at http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/SVGOpen2007/SVGOpen2007.htm and http://www.svgopen.org/2007/papers/BrowserPerformanceMeasures/index.html
The topic you're looking at was more the topic of my 2006 talk, but since that conference was cancelled, some of it has been inserted into the 2007 presentation. Embedding SMIL in the middle of JavaScript and looking at throughput of the entire system was the emphasis. The above talk contains descriptions of that approach. What I resorted to was cramming large numbers of <animate> tags into an SVG DOM and then to measure the proportion of iterations through a window.setTimeout that successfully competed within a given unit of non-declarative time (using calls to clock.) Also Opera has implemented a "finished rendering" event that may appear in a future spec (fingers crossed) and so this can help those interested in benchmarking and calibration of time-sensitive events like real-time data visualization. Hope this helps David ----- Original Message ----- From: jocke_138 To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 6:55 AM Subject: [svg-developers] SVG benchmark Hi, I'm new to this group and have just started working with SVG. I'm using a mock-up GUI to compare performances of different web- technologies. The GUI measures fps (frames per seconds) and I've ported this from HTML+Javascript to SVG+Javascript. The next step is to use SVGs native animation functions (i.e SMIL). The problem is that I haven't figured out how measure the frame rate. E.g; using Javascript you can use the setInterval function for each render and measure the time consumption and thus get the fps. But with SMIL animations it is the browser that computes when and where to render the next step - you only state for how many seconds the animation should go on. Does someone have any ideas on how I could achieve this? Or am I way off in my reasoning?
