“ V e l o c i t y ”
Wimp rate of polling meter
by David Thomas, © 1996
version 1.01 (02 Nov 1996)
____________________________________________________________________________
Purpose ___________________________________________________________________
Velocity was written in about five minutes to measure the impact of
different applications on the speed of polling.
It is interesting to note the impact of different applications on the
overall speed of the desktop, for example, Velocity running by itself (i.e.
not even with any of the desktop tools there) can achieve some 1400 polls
per second; whereas my usual desktop setup after bootup gave about 390
polls/sec. Thanks to Velocity I've now found that it was TrashCan doing
this and can now get 1200 polls/sec after bootup.
Oh, and I'm saying nuffin' about ‘Speed!’ by Clares, mmm.
Usage _____________________________________________________________________
Load Velocity, click on the icon bar icon to open the readings window.
