As Piru and many more explained, this is wrong to benchmark this way, but if you want a number, i can give you one anyway. With my not so good inet link, OWB loads the site in about 4 seconds, and reloads in 2 seconds. Of course, i disabled Javascript and Flash to be in the "same" conditions as netsurf.
And let me tell you again, the inet latency in this case *is* important. It might not be that much important on 68k where there's also much more time spent in displaying/parsing/decoding, but once you have a faster machine, inet latency becomes the bottleneck.
Are this test on a Peg 1 GHZ ?
You know, for 68k ixemul is gprof profiler here and you can see in the profile how much inet influence a page have, or what functions cost most time.
Too bad that MOS and OS4 have no gprof, so you can verify better what code cost most time and internet have no influence, the response times of inet access are really fast.
If you think inet access slow down, you can ofcourse do the test and show the page from harddrive.
I know this benchmark is not perfect to compare, but i dont want buy a OS4 system with all hardware and benchmark it myself.
Its always hard from OS4 users to get some benchmark results.And i am not a guy that ask users again and again to make benchmarks.
The results of classic, SAM and pegasus are all from same user done on same day and simular time.so inet access you can compare good.
that inet access is not important in time, you can also see because Pegasos G4 1 GHZ is 2.3* faster as SAM 667 MHZ with netsurf
this fit the blender benchmark, here Peg is too around 2* faster.And because the G4 have same much better performance /MHZ in the netsurf test and blender test, can be 99% sure inet is no speedbrake.
maybe you have a SDL OWB somewhere that use no Cairo, and can test what values it reach.
because i remember firefox was on my PC very fast, and as soon they add Cairo support it go lots slower.I have a PCIe gforce 6600 Card.so not the slowest.
I hope you not understand my test wrong.I dont want say 68k and SDL is the best system, i only want test with that test, if the port run at optimal speed.
most intresting is for me the speed of Acorn risc OS Version.This use no Cairo too.
maybe here is somebody who can do the test on a Acorn Risc Machine.
@Piru
>Oh wait! Netsurf can't run most of those test because it doesn't do javascript...
this tests have nothing to do with real world pages.No page do extensive java script access or this what the tests test.when i look in profiler, most time cost CSS layout, text and image render.Is there a benchmark here that test CSS layout speed ?
this links are synthetic benchmarks.
same as landmark mips or some else for CPU.
I prefer real world benches on often used pages.
so my test you can see simular to blender speed test.
