Are the "standard benchmarks" using dos extenders like Phar-Lap so there
testing 32-bit code?
And/or are they somehow I/O bound. I know all the tests from the PC magazines
are severely I/O bound.
My test is a ~2 meg program which includes I/O but isn't burdened by it. My
implication about Adesk and there apparent lack of utilization of the POWER of
the Pentium is that the number crunching end of the 3DS must be written in
16-bit C or the like if it doesn't benefit from what I see as a much greater
than 2x speed increase.
I've gotten real, man. Real fast man which apparently Adesk hasn't yet.
