I now, comparisons between Mac and PC are old refrains,but I would
like to share this home-made simple stupid benchmark with you:
I know, it is not a scientific benchmark, but all in all it involves
populating a listbox with data, and is true that's what we do must of
the time with REAL Basic in REAL world applications, isn't it?
today I wrote and compiled the following little lines of code
-------------------------------
dim ind as integer
dim ris as double
ris = Microseconds
for ind = 1 to val(100000)
lista.addrow str(microseconds)
next
result.text = str((Microseconds - ris)/1000000)
-------------------------------
a quite cheap Pentium 4 - 3 GHz - 768 MB RAM: 5.25 seconds !
G5 double 2 GHz, 2,5 MB RAM: 12.2 seconds !!
MacBook Pro, Dual core 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM: 27.2 seconds !!! ( OK,
I know, Rosetta... )
MacBook Pro, Dual core 2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Windows XP installed on a
virtual machine with Parallels Workstatio Beta: 2.1
seconds !!!!!!!!!!!!
So I'm here asking, please please please someone explain me why some
things, like handling listboxes, are so sadly, incredibly,
unacceptably slower on Mac Os compared with Windows?
thank you,
Giulio
