ResizeImage() slow under Linux?

Hexagon · Post by **Hexagon** » Wed Jan 02, 2008 11:18 pm

I'm doing a program which should resize big pictures for on screen view, and keep the original picture in memory. My computer is equipped with AMD XP2100 cpu and 1,25GB ram ticking at 333MHz. I'm running PB 4.10 on Ubuntu 7.10. My code gives these results:

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
0
Rezise time when initializing:
5091
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
6442
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
8048
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
7997

Insane results. 5-8 seconds on each resize. The windows greys out in Ubuntu before the picture is resized. On the very same machine running Windows XP and PB 4.10:

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
235
Rezise time when initializing:
281
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
94
Rezise time within Redraw():
281
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
94
Rezise time within Redraw():
281

It's still slow, but very fast compared to Ubuntu. How come, and how can I speed it up?
I don't know why, but neither CopyImage nor GrabImage() use more than 1ms to execute in Ubuntu. Can this be correct?
The rezise time is not consistant on Ubuntu. It varies several seconds. After running the program, the window cannot be closed for the first 20-30 seconds, as the Redraw() procedure is always called 3 times when started. "Only" 2 times in WinXP. Can I avoid this?

Hi!

First off I would like to note that testing the speed of a procedure or function should be done with the Debugger off; instead write all debugging information to a text file (for example).

Slight modifications in your code to make it write to a text file:

Code: Select all

DebugFilename$ = "/home/mirini/debug-log" ; Change file path to home folder or Desktop, etc..
Procedure DebugFile(Text$)
 WriteStringN(0, Text$)
 ; Not the very best example, but with the Debugger on all speed tests are inaccurate.
 ; This needs optimizing, but I did not bother ^_^
 ; Cheers, Irene
EndProcedure
Procedure Redraw()
If IsImage(1)
  FreeImage(1)
EndIf
tt=ElapsedMilliseconds()
GrabImage(0, 1, 0, 0, ImageWidth(0), ImageHeight(0))
tt-ElapsedMilliseconds()
t=ElapsedMilliseconds()
ResizeImage(1,WindowWidth(0),WindowHeight(0))
t-ElapsedMilliseconds()
If SetGadgetState(0, ImageID(1)) =0
  DebugFile("Couldn't set gadget image")
  End
EndIf
DebugFile("Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()")
DebugFile(Str(-tt))
DebugFile("Rezise time within Redraw():")
DebugFile(Str(-t))

Hmm but results are still not cool (PureBasic 4.10, Arch Linux):

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
0
Rezise time when initializing:
2037
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
1983
Stuff ended

Interesting:

Original on my AMD 650 / OSS10.3 (Slow machines are great to test such stuff

):

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
0
Rezise time when initializing:
14322
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
14981
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
17312
Stuff ended

Significant speedup once i set the Resolution
to my Desktopsize: 2048x1536 compared to 3349x2399

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
0
Rezise time when initializing:
5850
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
6385
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
0
Rezise time within Redraw():
4466
Stuff ended

Now interestingly using: 2048x2048:

Copytime when initializing using CopyImage()
0
Rezise time when initializing:
2998
Copytime within Redraw() using GrabImage()
1
Rezise time within Redraw():
3394
Stuff ended

so.. euh .. something is silly here. fr34k/fred, are the resizeing f8unctions under linux the same as on win or is under win GDI used ?
