The IDE bug certainly explains DvPlayer and mplayer, obviously if they're reading in PIO mode it will be slower, in fact the speed difference is a lot, and if the MorphOS port of mplayer has similar optimizations like a copy routine which gives the best results on Pegasos, that is another advantage for the MorphOS version. So you're not really doing direct OS comparisons here, because OS4 apps are currently optimized to give the best performance on AmigaOne machines, not Pegasos.
The videomem copy routine may also explain some of the differences in 3D performance, however the speed differences in some of the tests is so great that there must be other things as well, which are responsible, for example we are talking about different ports, not identical code running on the two systems. |

Well, i tested dvplayer from ram: too, and it indicates some surprising slowness when played from ram: actually (and no, vmem isn't used, it's disabled).
About Quake ports differences, well, they're minimal. All of them use the almost untouched original OpenGL code. Last edited by Fab on 17-Feb-2009 at 03:52 PM.

You have to be joking here, right? show me how any quake is doing videomem copy.
"however the speed differences in some of the tests is so great that there must be other things as well,"
yeah, like much more advanced drivers and more optimized opengl implementation (not only for pegasos2, but in general).
"for example we are talking about different ports, not identical code running on the two systems."
morphos quake2 port was done by a person who knows nothing about opengl:) another bad excuse.

RAM Disk was always slower on OS4 than hard-drive with UDMA.
It would be interesting to run glQuake OS4 version on MorphOS via OS4emu, that would rule out the differences in the port itself. |

umisef has also stated on this site the same is true for OS3.x. In fact I've never heard anyone disagree with that.

slower ram disk than hd dma sounds really weird to me... what about handlers like amber-ram? AROS is using it, wouldn't be possible to use it on OS4 or find other solution? _________________ The only spanish amiga news web page/club: CUAZ |

That would force MorphOS to use the slower MiniGL through its Warp3D wrapper. Why don't recompile blitzquake for OS4?_________________ The only spanish amiga news web page/club: CUAZ |

My fault. I should have known people would be curious and therefore supplied the link.
Here
Discussed by umisef, itix, and HJF. And yes, the handler was offered as one possible cause.

That is only the case when you use a modern filesystem like SFS or JXFS, if you use FFS I don't think it'll be faster than Ram Disk. As far as I understand the Ram Disk code in OS4 hasn't changed much since 3.x, so it's using the same filesystem it used in the old days. But honestly, in everyday use, when did you find that the AmigaOS RAM Disk is too slow? It's only used for temporarily extracting archives, etc. and for that sort of thing it always seemed fast enough for me. |

First you could tell us which version of Quake II,III you are using. Second is that you are using much weaker graphic card on pegasos. Radeon 9250 uses 64bit memory bus compared to 128bit in Radeon 9000 Pro. So, atleast use the same graphic card for both systems. Thread was about comparing MorphOS and AOS4.1 on the same hardware.

Does he state somewhere in his post that the Radeon 9250 is a 64bit one (no, I can't read Polish)? Just note that there are also variants of the Radeon 9250 with a 128bit interface. But I agree, the comparison is somewhat "odd". |

Well, I asumed all 9250s are 64bit. Guess I was wrong. At least 9250 runs on lower mhz than the 9000 pro. |

He used my results for the comparison, which are done with a 9250 64bits version.
But it's quite obvious a 9000pro gives much better results than a 9250SE, be it on pegasos or amigaone. Mufa mainly tests gfx card speed, but it's not really good since it's done on different motherboards.
If Radeon9100 worked in 3D on OS4, i would have used it for the tests, but it doesn't seem to be supported yet. Last edited by Fab on 17-Feb-2009 at 07:05 PM.

Right, Radeon 9000Pro 128bit interface, but processor only 800MHz. I mean Pegasos 2, faster hardware.
