FPU Libraries, which is best!?

Hi All,

Just dug out the package for Oxyron Patcher. Lucky I happened to see it yesterday. :-)

The package says "Requitements: 68040/68060 processor and at least Kickstart 2.0"

I used it for a time. On the Lightwave 4.0 Texture Examples scene it increased speed about 10%.

I stopped using it for two reasons. There was a story (Not confirmed, AFAIK.) going around that it didn't work quite right with some piece of software I use. Also, it reqires a an entry at about the second line of the base startup sequence. I'm not too comfortable with that.

Best,

Bob Kennedy

Actually the first line is better. All it does is place itself in resident memory and restart the machine. It only needs to restart on the initial boot of turning the machine on. It saves either firstly booting the disk then doing whatever, or loading WB, then running it manually.

Hi,

AFAIK OS3.9 mathlibs, are based on HSMath ones.

OxyPatcher has nothing to do with the mathlibs. OP replaces some missing instructions, in the 040-060 cpu.

my personal experience for example, is that the "Free Srub" in ProStationAudio, is useable thanks to OP (with my 040@30Mhz cpu).

Even LightWave rendering time, benefits by the presence of OP as well.
