I'm seeing a steep performance dropoff after I switched from 37b16 to 55. I've compiled 55 with both the default:
CFLAGS = -O -Wall and highest: CFLAGS = -O3 -m486 -Wall -Wno-unused -funroll-loops \ -fstrength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -malign-functions=2 \ -malign-jumps=2 -malign-loops=2 optimization flags, (which I see little performance differance between), but when I un autoframerate a game, it's a lot slower then 37b16 was (not sure what I compiled that with, but most likely would have been the default). Also compiled in (these are in my 37b16 binary too): DGA and JOY_I386 The only differance I think is for 55 I had to use the static zlib that's included, but that shouldn't affect runtime performance. This is a Slackware 7.1 Linux system. P2 266 Mhz, 128M RAM. Kangaroo, on xmame (x11) with DGA, auto framerate toggled off: 37b16: 180% during normal gameplay 55: 106% during normal gameplay Pingpong, on xmame (x11) with DGA, auto framerate toggled off: 37b16: 150% during normal gameplay 55: 240% during normal gameplay And for games where 37b16 barely could do 100% before... well, now they're unplayable. Anyone else getting this? Is it a problem on dos/win too? (Although I would think THAT would have been noticed and fixed really quick). Please Cc me with any replies, not on the list. Thanks. And thanks to the xmame porter(s), I appreciate being able to use MAME on UNIX. -- Jeremy M.
