[ALLY] View Speed Test
[1/43] from: larry::ecotope::com at: 20-Apr-2001 16:59
Hi all,
Just finished a few minor modifications to a script that Carl wrote for
Link. It measures the interpreter speed, time to display bitmaps, and time
for the OS to generate windows. It is on the Ecotope rebsite as speed.r. In
the clipboard output below, the second column is time in seconds, and the
third is the percentage performance relative to a 300 MHz Aptiva. It will be
interesting if people with different machines and platforms post results to
the ally-list. Please state your clock speed, CPU, OS, video card and video
memory (if known).

Yes, and the data needs to be natively exportable to SPSS, SAS,
Excel/Access, Paradox. And while you are at it, will you add in
multi-dimensional axis display so that a click of a button will configurably
redisplay the results along different axises. And add in a dynamic,
continuously updated, 3 axis rotational capability ... if its not too much
trouble.

Hi PeO
I think you might have the wrong URL. The easy (preferred) way to get the
script is through the View desktop to the Ecotope site.
The direct URL for the script is:

with otherwise compareable specs, you are two to three times faster...
At my system I ran the test on Workbench at 1728x1296 @ 16 bit (an odd

The difference between the 060 systems is that the first of them
has its 68060 on a CSPPC card, while the other one is a CS MK-II.
Maybe this is causing the speed difference ?

I'm running a 1024x768x24bit @ 71Hz refresh screen mode. I decided to
go for a 24bit display to get those nice gradients in REBOL looking
really nice =)...and 1024x768 was the highest resolution I could push
my monitor too and have a decent refresh rate (I can't hack the 60Hz
flicker).

Yes, very buggy. Thanks for catching it. Carl forgot about minutes and
(heaven forbid) hours. Sorry everyone, I should have caught that the first
time around. The script has been fixed to show correct percentages. I will
correct the results from the posts when I summarize them, so no need to
resubmit. The new script is on the Ecotope rebsite or directly at
http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb/speed.r
If using the desktop, be sure to reload the script, or even better, delete
the file from the nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb directory under view-root/public.
Please keep the speed tests coming in, it is getting interesting. I have
about 25 emails so far covering about 30 machines.
I would like to see more from dual boot machines, also some results for fast
*nix boxes using X.
Anyone think they have the fastest machine? the slowest machine?
Anyone with a Mac? Some times for BE Os?

I'm not surprised. I like Linux as much as I dislike Windoze, but
X-Windows is not famous for its velocity (nor it was borne to be
quick, to be true).

On my AMD [K6-2--450MHz] with ATI Charger I have tested the Linux and BeOS
versions of View. As one could assume BeOS is much faster on bitmap and
OS window time. I have no numbers of BeOS at the moment though.
Linux, PC above:

and as you can see, the gfx card is crap :)

You call that old?!! ...
Amiga 1200, [68030--50mhz], Ateo Concepts Pixel64 GFX card.
Interpreter time: 0:01:59.631728 5.45
Bitmap time: 0:00:47.675712 8.39
OS window time: 0:00:51.121089 8.80
Anyone slower than that? (:
Out of interest, is there much difference in performance when running
View on different OSs on the same machines? Windows, Linux, BSD
etc.? Many of you must be dual-booting.

Chuckle - I just asked that question. Need more such comparisons
though, I think.

If I am not mistaken the Mac version is not out yet.
Here comes results for BeOS R5 x86:

The machine is same as before AMD K6-2 450MHz, ATI Charger 8MB,
enough physical memory.

Hi PeO
Thanks, I will add it to the database. I have 43 machine test results so
far. And I really will do some summaries soon. New test results from others
on the list are still welcome. The script is at
http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/speed.r

Hi Brett
Good idea. Consider it done. I reduced the auxiliary info to just the cpu
speed in MHz. Folks should also feel free to email the clipboard results
with added info directly to me.

When I try to hit that link with a browser, I get
Not Found
The requested URL /~ecotope1/speed.r was not found on this
server.
and (of course) REBOL/View complains
Cannot find

when I try it in the "goto" menu.

More results from my computer-room: :)
Dell Latitude CPx H500GT, Solaris 7 x86, P-III 500MHz, 128Mb RAM,
ATI Rage Mobility M1, 8Mb at 1024x768, 24 bit on local TFT
Interpreter time: 0:00:02.392482 135.84
Bitmap time: 0:00:05.616684 71.22
OS window time: 0:00:07.333078 61.37
Have no windoze on this machine yet, maybe after writing the Solaris 7
installation guide for this one..

I think Carl's original intent was simply to get a quick indicator of the
speed of View in each of the three categories of the test. Like many
benchmarks, the test is far too simple and short to really evaluate CPUs,
but the results are interesting none the less.
The email pop-up will take any line of text so folks can also enter cpu
make, video card, video memory, etc., if they wish. I meant to say only that
I would discard any results lacking cpu speed.
There are several important variables not generally present in the data
received so far, for instance screen display resolution and color depth,
system bus speed, ram chip speeds, cpu cache specs, video memory and display
speed, etc. While these factors can be useful in understanding particularly
high or low times for a given cpu speed, they introduce so many variables
that it would require hundreds of test results overall in order to be able
to at least partially quantify the influence of each factor.

I am not familiar with RC5. I would guess that scripts which don't use
view/vid (like my loop-timer.r script) would run at comparable speeds with
different OS on same box.

Wasn't the speed test's initial goal to compare the REBOL/View speed between
different platforms and graphic adapters ? So, removing the extra info will
give a very unfair comparision between the CPUs..
Would also be interesting if everyone could add a RC5 benchmark to their
results, since this test seems to give very small differences between OSes
on the same system.

Hey Larry,
Perhaps the script could email you directly with the results rather than
this list? :)

..and another test on the Latitude..
Dell Latitude CPx H500GT, win98, P-III 500MHz, 128Mb RAM,
ATI Rage Mobility M1, 8Mb at 1024x768, 24 bit on local TFT
Performance Test Results for P-O Yliniemi
Interpreter time: 0:00:01.15 282.61
Bitmap time: 0:00:00.71 563.38
OS window time: 0:00:01.87 240.64
..
Notice the really enormous difference between /View on windoze and /View on
Solaris (using exactly the same configuration gave me 135.84, 71.22 and 61.37
using Solaris)..
Shouldn't 'Interpreter time' be the same between the OSes on the same machine ?

The RC5/OGR client uses an optimized core for the CPU it finds, but the speed
results are quite comparable between different OSes on the same machine, at
least within 10% of each other. Just about to run the RC5 client on win at the
laptop to see the results there..
Laptop results for DNETC client's benchmark test (http://www.distributed.net)
RC5
Solaris 1,393,046.37 keys/s
win 1,403,556.09 keys/s
--diff-- win about +7%
OGR
Solaris 3,106,630.25 nodes/s
win 3,426,231.61 nodes/s
--diff-- win about +10%
I will try out your loop-timer.r script to see if I get comparable results between
OSes on the other solaris/win box...
btw.. I like the speed of my laptop :)
