Final of my Aros 68k distribution

Cannot wait to test it on real amiga

I'm afraid anyone trying this on real amiga will be disappointed. It's very slow, much much slower than the real AmigaOS. Even on WinUAE it is a drag. At several occasions you can see things crawl, even on fast PCs with JIT enabled. Also, AROS consumes much more memory than AmigaOS. (*)

I think this is a direct result from AROS being coded on überfast x86 systems. There hasn't been any reason to optimize things.


* This was some time ago, it might have gotten faster since.

It's a patch that is ill-advised for multitiasking on Amiga since it allows lower-priority tasks to be promoted to higher priority.  That, in turn, allows things that should never be overruled by a lower-priority task to be overruled, etc.

Any application depending on priorities like that is missing proper locking and is broken.

Executive is no way ill-advised for multitasking or malicious. In fact it's the opposite, Executive greatly improves over the rigid and ineffective default amiga multitasking.

i wouldnt use executive on aros68k. does it even gives any measurable advantage there or is it supplied just "because we can"?

It most certainly does.
