on MOS there is no speed-loss

 Sorry, i have done many tests on this and i don't confirm it. WarpOS apps still run faster on my AOS installation.
Edit: Or at the same speed, best case.

Well, i just did ran it and the difference is profound, but i still don't understand why you suggested this. Pixelomania is just a demo that (quoting from its output message) "Measures the performance of CPU context switches". It's obvious that there are NO CPU switches in MorphOS and that wasn't the point of my previous post.

@ Piru
 I will just quote my previous post. I think it's clear enough: :-)

Edit: Ok, just to clarify: I'm talking about real-life apps, not about a cpu context-switching test and i didn't mention anything about context-switching. Humppa did. :-)
