I'm part of a large multi-platfrm development project, and from frequent communications with other team members, I've noted great differences in prcessor utilization.
I have a 40/50 MHz A2000 with 11megs plus GigaMem, and am able to comfortably run
Terminus cnnected to the development forum f messages r download, run a render in
the background on POV-Ray, run GCC 2.7.0 compiling the latest revisions, often rrun a SECOND cpy of POV-Ray, and print docs, and the only slowing I notice is when
Executive gives 75-80% processor time to Compuserve's QuickB protcol, which
inexplicably runs a tad slower than ZModem while consuming 2-4 times the processor
usage. I personally dislike Microsoft and Windows, and find it disappointing that
only now have they really achieved multitasking, and at what appears to be tremendouos cost to the user.
