- | ====== Mac Emulation Benchmarks ====== | ||
- | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Okay, so I did some benchtesting of some emulators that I use frequently. | ||
- | |||
- | The tests are all " | ||
- | |||
- | My test machine is an HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop (1.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). | ||
- | |||
- | ===== The Contenders ===== | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2009 beta: Released May 4, 2008 | ||
- | * SoftMac XP 8.2: Released December, 2002 | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R5: Released May 2006 | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R3: Released July 2001 | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9 R142: Released January 2001 | ||
- | |||
- | ===== The Tests ===== | ||
- | (fastest test is in bold) | ||
- | ==== Opening a large .JPG in Graphic Converter ==== | ||
- | The first test was to open a 2.2 MB .JPG file in Graphic Converter. | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2008: 5.2 seconds | ||
- | * SoftMac XP: 5.3 seconds | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R5: 1.5 seconds** | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R3: 1.5 seconds** | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9: 6 seconds | ||
- | |||
- | Both Basilisk II takes the cake here. Interestingly, | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Manipulating a large .JPG graphic ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Next, we applied Graphic Converter' | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2008: 13.1 seconds | ||
- | * SoftMac XP: 13.3 seconds | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R5: 3.1 seconds** | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R3: 3.5 seconds | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9: 18.8 seconds | ||
- | |||
- | Basilisk II JIT R5 emerges as the fastest emulator in this test. Both Basilisk and SoftMac show marginal improvements over their older cousins (though both improvements could just be within the margin of error... i.e: the speed of my thumb on the stopwatch). | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Stuffit Test One ==== | ||
- | Next I did a Stuffit Test. I downloaded an archive of [[http:// | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2008: 7 minutes, 16 seconds | ||
- | * SoftMac XP: 7 minutes, 9 seconds | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R5: 2 minutes, 4 seconds** | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R3: 2 minutes, 18 seconds | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9: 7 minutes, 25 seconds | ||
- | |||
- | Whew! This test took a long time to complete! Speed-wise, SoftMac 2008 seems to be in the same league as Basilisk 2001. Basilisk II JIT takes the cake once more. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Stuffit Test Two ==== | ||
- | I couldn' | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2008: 11.3 seconds | ||
- | * SoftMac XP: 11 seconds | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R5: 2.7 seconds | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R3: 2.3 seconds** | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9: 12.6 seconds | ||
- | |||
- | Again, Basilisk II JIT is the fastest. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Installing an Application ==== | ||
- | This time, the test required the emulators to install that download of Wordperfect 3.5. Here's the results: | ||
- | |||
- | * SoftMac 2008: 10.8 seconds | ||
- | * SoftMac XP: 9.7 seconds | ||
- | * Basilisk II JIT R5: 3.3 seconds | ||
- | * **Basilisk II JIT R3: 3.2 seconds** | ||
- | * Basilisk II .9: 11.2 seconds | ||
- | |||
- | Once again, Basilisk II JIT is the fastest emulator. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Conclusion ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Obviously, Basilisk Ii JIT is the fastest emulator. | ||
