NetSurf: CS 060 vs. Blizzard 1260 vs. PPC
« on: May 09, 2014, 06:49:59 PM »
Hi all!

I've noticed big differences in the loading times of NetSurf on various platforms, so I decided to measure the time that is needed to load amiga.org. Here are the results:

CyberStormPPC using 060/50, RTG: 25.9s
CyberStormPPC using 060/50, AGA: 26.5s
CyberStormPPC using 604e/200, RTG: 14.2s
Blizzard 1260, 128 MB: 82.2s

Ok clearly the PPC is way faster, but why is the 1260 so incredibly slow? It seems to me that the whole system is slow compared to the CyberStorm.  

Some details of the platforms:

Amiga 4000D, CyberStormPPC 060/50, 604e 200, 128 MB RAM on CyberStorm, 16 MB on Motherboard, 2 MB Chip, IDE HD and CD-ROM, Mediator 4000Di with Radeon 9250 with 128 MB RAM, RTL 8029 PCI NIC

Amiga 1200, Blizzard 1260 with 128 MB RAM, IDE-HD, Orinoco Wifi

To check if my network card is the problem I downloaded the page including images with wget. Loading the page from disk with NetSurf still needs 76.9s.

I now have checked the speed of my system. According to SysSpeed it's a normal A1200 with A1260. I saved the amiga.org start page to disk to check if the Wifi card is slow, same result. I also tried a different OS installation, same result. It's really curious.
