Tony, What particular benchmark function that you test for actually records
a zero time? I assume 0.00 means 0.00xxx minutes.seconds. I don't really
understand the basis for the benchmark test since the line draw algorithm
in the 34020 is not particularly clever (i.e Bresenham) and does not lend
itself that cleanly to AutoCAD type vector lists. Is your Benchmark based
on the 34020 or is that your preference for graphics processors? Software
implemented functions like clipping and scaling in the 34020 should be
tested as well for an overall efficient benchmark (IMHO). I would be
interested in getting a copy of the benchmark, is it available on general
release?
What do you think of the GRPREF benchmark that Robert tells me he is using
for his current review, how does it compare?
