- I have a MacIIci with 4 megs of memory, soon to be 8megs. It is one of
- the original IIci's that came out before they started bundling the cache
- cards with the new ones. Anyway, it seems to be acting rather slow
- lately, so I ran Speedometer on it and on one of the new cis with 8megs
- and which I assume has a cache card. The number I got for both machines
- were significantly different. There are summarized below:
-
- Test My ci/New ci
-
- CPU 5.97/6.63
- Graf 7.75/9.89
- Disk 1.33/1.91
- Math 17.90/23.77
- P.R. 6.77/8.38
-
- KWhet 31.86/46.70
- Dhry 4.03/6.71
- Towers 3.80/6.00
- Quicksort 4.86/6.52
- Bubb Sort 6.92/7.57
- Queens 5.95/7.27
- Puzzle 6.79/8.72
- Permute 4.35/5.99
- Fast Four. 16.73/25.36
- F.P. Matrx 15.98/23.94
- Int. Matrx 5.36/7.99
- Sieve 7.39/7.45
- Bench Avg. 9.50/13.35
-
- FPU FFT 1.62/2.05
- FPU KWhet 1.84/2.19
- FPU Matrix 1.83/2.33
- FPU Avg. 1.76/2.19
-
- 8-bit Color 1.65/2.70
-
- Obviously , these are very different. My questions are: Can the extra 4
- megs of memory make this difference? Can running virtual memory? Can a
- cache card? Or is my IIci just very messed up?
