NetSurf: CS 060 vs. Blizzard 1260 vs. PPC

[utri007]

Hi all!

I've noticed big differences in the loading times of NetSurf on various platforms, so I decided to measure the time that is needed to load amiga.org. Here are the results:

CyberStormPPC using 060/50, RTG: 25.9s
CyberStormPPC using 060/50, AGA: 26.5s
CyberStormPPC using 604e/200, RTG: 14.2s
Blizzard 1260, 128 MB: 82.2s

Ok clearly the PPC is way faster, but why is the 1260 so incredibly slow? It seems to me that the whole system is slow compared to the CyberStorm.  

Some details of the platforms:

Amiga 4000D, CyberStormPPC 060/50, 604e 200, 128 MB RAM on CyberStorm, 16 MB on Motherboard, 2 MB Chip, IDE HD and CD-ROM, Mediator 4000Di with Radeon 9250 with 128 MB RAM, RTL 8029 PCI NIC

Amiga 1200, Blizzard 1260 with 128 MB RAM, IDE-HD, Orinoco Wifi

You can google Netsurf Atari Falcon and find out that it load much faster with Atari. There is two possible reasons, Atari is so much better than Amiga or There is a proper port of Netsurf for Atari.

68k version is based of framebuffer version of netsurf, wich is meant to be used for debuggin or no gui systems. It also runs top of the SDL.
