To get an overview about the performance of Magic Menu, I made some
benchmarks. A special function of MM opens and closes the selected
menu 200 times and measures the time with the internal Amiga clock,
which is accurate up to 1/100 second.
To make it more readable, the values are given relatively: The
unoptimized 68000er version with USELAYER=YES took 177.98 seconds
on my A2000 with an 68000er. All other values are fractions of this
time. The higher the faster.
The test was made on a 8 color workbench with a resolution of
640x480 pixels (Omnibus: 640x480)
USELAYER | Program version | A2000 | A2000 | A3000 | A3000
| | 68000 | 68030 | | Omnibus
----------|-----------------|-------|-------|-------|---------
| | | | |
| 000, not opt. | 1.00 | 1.26 | -- | --
| | | | |
YES | 000, optimized | 0.99 | -- | -- | --
| | | | |
| 030, optimized | -- | 1.25 | -- | 3.22
| | | | |
----------|-----------------|-------|-------|-------|---------
| | | | |
| 000, not opt. | 1.25 | 1.55 | -- | --
| | | | |
NO | 000, optimized | 1.27 | -- | -- | --
| | | | |
| 030, optimized | -- | 1.55 | 2.29 | 3.99
As you can see, the optimized version doesn't have a remarkable
effect on the speed.
For this reason, I wont include a special 68030 version into the
archive in the future.
Instead I suggest everybody to set the tool type "USELAYER" to NO,
which makes Magic Menu up to 25% faster.
