Comparative between AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.3 on Pegasos II

[Jose]

IIRC the AOS4 Pegasus port uses a BIOS API for the hardware, can't remember it's name, that's probably one of the reasons why it's slower. As for the rest, dunno, they seem to have sacrificed compatibility for new features. But for some stuff MOS guys seem to have managed to do both at the same time:)

"MorphOS has more and better features.
MorphOS has better Amiga compatibility.
MorphOS has better performance.

I see no compatibility or feature comparison there it's mostly about peformance.
2 things are not taken into account, the optimization of the software and that API thing I mentioned above.
And as the article says, which I think applies to most things:
"L'exemple de ZoneXplorer montre d'ailleurs que le Pegasos II G4 est plus lent qu'un AmigaOne G3. On peut aussi noter que la performance de certains tests est plus due à la façon dont a été compilé le logiciel qu'au système lui-même."

The article states at the end that a G3 A1 performs better at some tests than the Peg2 (using AOS4), shouldn't that be enouph ?

That said I think it is a fair comparison if one takes into account what is actually compared, and that is the combination of the current Peg2 version of the OS and the current versions of the applications tested.
One thing that I think MOS would win anyway is on 3D, IIRC there was a design flaw somewhere because of Picasso RTG or something...
