Our AMMX sorcerer Bax did it again !
To show how much AMMX can benefit AmigaOS3 applications and OS, he implemented AMMX decoding instructions into the good old JPEG datatypes.
Results are impressive.
To benchmark it, we used benchmarking protocol used on WarpDT website and current GOLD2.7 WIP :
http://www.warpdt.co.uk/jpeg.html ("visage jordan199b.jpg nojpeg time test". )
and we went from 1.759s
to a whooping 0.723s !
You read it right, we are faster at 70MHz than a A1200 603e/240MHz used on original benchmarks.
This new addition to a growing AMMX software collection demonstrates how much AMMX can benefit every part of our beloved OS. Any application using datatypes will instantly benefit from this, like our preferred OS3 browsers.
