?????
Why? for example Athlon 2600+ Linux Aranym 0.9.5 (No JIT + MMU) 485
is comparable with Playstation 3 values, in this 2 case there is no
JIT, that is the only differences of this 2 computers.

And??? Notice the only difference with 32 bit and 16 bit for the
second table is only the transform from 24 bit to this display and in
fact transform from 24 to 16 bits is a little bit faster than
transform 24 to 32 bits.

Like Playstation nor PC nor Mac Computer is not!
Now big diffrence beetween a specific hardware computer is it is very
easy to have native software under it that is not easy at all under
Aranym. I wan't compile for V4e Tiny_gl.ldg I just change compil
target and thats all as I do for 68060 in past, it run, I'm able to do
this under Aranym but I should add code in Aranym itself and create a
new ldg that call native one and have a translation of address in
Atari world and host world, near 3 weeks of work to do this and
probably Aranym team will not agree to add all sort of source code in
there software!

This is an Radeon 7000 (128bit bus) on PCI with a lot of native
primitive call, so it's really fast, this sort of graphic card could
be put on your hades, result will be better than on the coldfire card
I think because fVDI kernel was not compil natively and memory access
on this evaluation board is slow in fact, this is not a real computer
but interesting for us.

Oh no, you alway's transform results, even if it was not better on
Linux than for this case(I don't think so but I'm going to ask to
David to have this result for you), can you explain me why most user
will not use Aranym JIT when they can?!!!!! And result is quite
different:
EeePC Celeron 630MHz - WinXP - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 1845
or
EeePC 701 Celeron 630MHz - Linux Debian - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 2523
or
EeePC Celeron 900MHz - WinXP - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 2897
Good reason? Compatibility is very good even with JIT (never be able
to find a software running without JIT that not run under JIT this is
possible probably but wich one?), speed is far better. I know only one
reason not use JIT, it's for developper's only that wan't fix bugs
using memory protection (like using NULL address under JIT not crash).
Do you use your Aranym with MMU and full system memory protection? Me
yes, but you not. For user there is no reason and if speed for you is
the most important, so EeePC is better than Playstation 3 but I think
we don't buy playstation or EeePC for Aranym only!

No
EeePC Celeron 630MHz - WinXP - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 1845
or
EeePC 701 Celeron 630MHz - Linux Debian - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 2523
or
EeePC Celeron 900MHz - WinXP - Aranym 0.9.6 (JIT) 2897
That is the true, and we wait for JIT PPC in Aranym that possible
change this reality, and I will be very happy to add this results on
my web page, if you have this send me!
Now I am going to be a bit malicious, have you try to report results
to processor frequency?
At the same speed frequency EeePC under WinXP, Aranym for 386! should
have a value of 477 And Playstation 3 have only 259. And I wait for
results with Linux compil for EeePC!
> I do agree, it's great pleasure and gives great satisfaction indeed.
Yes and that is most important, and EeePC user have the same
satisfaction, strange isn't it!
And now look at this:

Good video! I don't know if you can do this on Playstation 3 and if
your Apple computer can boot as fast as this. For an obsolete computer
this not so bad!
