- >>>>> On Mon, 14 Dec 1992 23:05:28 GMT, jon@robots.ox.ac.uk (Jon
- Tombs) posted some benchmarks on various X servers.
-
- We ran some X benchmarks here on campus a while ago, and I thought
- perhaps I could share the numbers with you all.
-
- This is the most impressive benchmark Jon posted, for the rest of
- them, look up the article:
-
- S3 801 (Actix GraphicsEngine32)
- TOTAL 102774 lineStones
- TOTAL 45363 fillStones
- TOTAL 27382 blitStones
- TOTAL 2485082 arcStones
- TOTAL 113125 textStones
- TOTAL 97712 complexStones
- TOTAL 60897 xStones
-
- Here goes:
-
- Silicon Graphics, SGI Indigo, 50mHz R4000 and some moderately fast
- graphics card:
-
-
- lines 435929 Note that this is running X, and not
- fill 87513 the hardware supported GL extension
- blit 28107 that SGI comes with. This could probably
- arcs 8782062
- text 171875 increase performance somewhat.

- NCD color X terminal, hooked to a Sun SparcStation-10 over 10mbit

- arcs 1233016

- Sun SS2, running OpenWindows on a color screen:

- fill 25151
- blit 52037
- arcs 665710

- Sparc Station 1, b/w display:

- lines 31175

- I don't give any guarantee of the accuracy of these figures, and they
- may well be dependent on a lot of factors like network load etc etc.
-
- I am impressed by the apparent speed of the S3 cards, however,
- concidering they are not lagging far behind the indigo which is
- specifically designed to handle graphics at high speeds, and costing
- lots of $$$. :-)
