direct MacIntel-PPC performance comparisons. But it can at least
give us
a rough idea of how fast or slow the Shockwave player is within a
Rosetta emulated Safari.
I think the only test that would be worthwhile would be with the
shipping HW/SW. A single p4 with 945 integrated graphics won't inform
us much about a dual 2.0 yonah with a 1600 card. Likewise I suspect
that the shipping 10.4.4 UB and rosetta are significantly different
than the version that came on dev boxes. Maybe you have updated the
SW. Are you running the 10.4.4 GM?
WRT benches, I don't have anything current. This one has an onscreen
frame counter, and the framerate may be capped. Its about 10k polys
and plays acceptably on macs from 4 years ago (when it was made).
