Hi guys!
I'm trying to use FS-UAE in Linux and I'm finding it a little (lot) slower than WinUAE.
I'm running this on a P4 single core with 3GB RAM running at 2.8Ghz.
It's a dual-boot WindowsXP and Linux (Lubuntu) system. Under WindowsXP WinUAE runs blazingly fast. I use it as a high-productivity Amiga. I run 3d modelling (Lightwave), graphics (ImageFX) and music recording stuff on it. RTG is a must for me, and it runs really well under with the WinUAE setup.
Since I've installed Lubuntu, I installed the FS-UAE emulator. It is very slick and I enjoy the interface a lot. It seems to run basic games very well.
But, I took my "virtual hard drive" file-system directory from WinUAE and copied it over to my Linux partition. I set up a configuration for an emulated A4000 with lots of ram and RTG (Picasso 96) enabled.
I attached the folder containing my Amiga hard drive contents to the emulator and everything boots up just fine like in WinUAE, but it's VERY slow in comparison. I notice it starts to get slow when it tries to boot AmiDock (Amiga OS3.9) and load the wallpaper backdrop. This takes over a minute for each. It only takes a few seconds with WinUAE.
Icon rendering within drawers also takes longer than WinUAE.
So I'm just wondering what could be wrong - I understand that FS-UAE is based on WinUAE developments. Both emulators are running the same Amiga hard drive setup, but one is slow.
I didn't see a JIT setting in FS-UAE...maybe this is the problem? I use JIT in WinUAE....
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
