- Here are my Executor 2 speedo test results under linux 2.0 and
- Windows95. (on a 486dx2-50 with a slooo...w hard drive)
-
- Windows95 linux-svga linux X
- video 7.6 4.6 2.7
- cpu 8.8 7.9 7.9
- disk 2.2 2.0 2.0
-
- My question is this;
-
- Linux 2.0 is linux at its finest, all 32 bit and really fast drivers,
- (tested with the fastest X server available too). Windows95
- is all 16 bit with a .hfv volume to slow thing down as well...
-
- So why the hell is it so much faster in every damn area, and would it
- completely destroy Linux when the VCPU and a 32 bit port comes on line?
-
- Maybe you should write a 16 bit version for Linux to see if you could make
- it go faster. (Yes, I know, it was a joke)
-
- I only tried linux to see if I could wring a few more bits/sec out of
- Executor. Tried and failed that is;)
-
- Makes you wonder why the linux/os2'ers are always bagging Windows95.
- It is also by far the easiest platform to print out PostScript files when
- you don't have a postscript printer.
-
- Just the facts maam...
- Michelle;)
