amiga vs atari netsurf

faster cpus ? the milan 040 ? i don't think so.

also the fastest option for falcon is 060, even overclocked,
i would say with apollo 080, in worst case scenario, we should get at least same performances.

If  you look at the comments on that video, the Milan had an 060 in it as well.

Also as stated by eliyahu, SDL performance isn't all that great.  Wasn't / isn't there a native MUI3/4 version being worked on?  (I guess MUI3/4 is considered as native as anything on the Amiga, without actually just using straight workbench UI).

This has nothing to do with SDL. There is no MUI version, but this uses Reaction.

Ah yes, that's right.

I'd test this, unfortunately my Amiga is currently in the "need to figure out why the mediator won't work and gives me memory errors after swapping the Kickstart for the custom one that supports the 060 being plugged into the A3640" and my Falcon doesn't have an 060 in it yet.  Granted, I have yet to try getting netsurf running on it either, though I do have it Internet connected.

I do think Netsurf is the future for 68k browsing.  Though from what I can see, the latest port to the Atari is 2.9, vs 3.5 for the Amiga.  Hell, even Debian doesn't have a newer package than 3.2

P.S.  Maybe 3.5 build is only for AmigaOS 4?  I am pretty sure the last time I tried it on my A4000, it was 3.2 or so.

There have been no release builds because there is no maintainer, so the state is unknown.

Thanks for that!  Seems that way for a lot of stuff in Atari land.  If I can ever get my cross platform compiler set up working, I am going to make an attempt at updating some of the MiNT stuff.

I have wanted to get a cross platform development setup working for some time, I just don't have the time... Would love to start creating some things for Amiga/Atari ST.

Thanks, I'll take a poke at it to see if I can convert it into running on Linux vs Cygwin.
