my topic today is execution speed. I optimized my latest program and did some testing. The tests are made without validating the exact cycle, with 24-bit addressing and with etos512. Before optimization, the result was obtained in 35 seconds on the Mega Ste emulation at 16 MHz and after optimization in 28 seconds (-20% not bad!).
Results
STE 68000 8 MHz: 56 s
Mega STE 68000 16 MHZ: 28 s
Mega STE 68000 32 MHZ: 14-15 s
TT 68020 32 MHz: 19 s
Falcon 68030 32 MHz: 31 s
I don't understand why Falcon at 32 MHz is slower than the Mega STE at 16 or 32 MHz. Does anyone have an explanation to this ? App is below. To try, unZIP then clic "search" without changing anything.
