Simple performance test of PureBasic on an intel mac
Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 9:26 pm
I made a first test with beta 1 on a mac book pro (core duo, 1,87 GHz).
The simple task: Converting a csv text data file with 448.327 data records, each record contains 12 data columns. If a column contains no data, an underline character will be added. The csv-file has a lenght of 44 MB.
I stopped the time needed for Mac OSX Beta 1 with Rosetta ppc-emulation, and the windows version of PB 4.02 running on OSX with crossover (wine) emulation, parallels with win xp and native win xp with bootcamp.
The results:
PB Mac Beta (ppc emulation) - 127 seconds
PB windows with crossover on OS X - 41 seconds
PB windows with parallels on OS X - 32 seconds
PB windows with bootcamp - 19 seconds.
Summary: Windows version of PB is a good work around on a intel Mac, and testing the mac beta 1 would be better on a real ppc. But i will continue...
