Ok, benchmarking by running the Stamp action from Panos
(www.panosfx.com)

Power Mac Dual 2.5Ghz 4GB RAM running PS natively

53 seconds

MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz 3GB RAM running PS in Rosetta:

18 seconds

That's pretty amazing to say the least. I was copying files from the
PowerMac to the Mac Book Pro (I keep wanting to type PowerBook) during
this test, so maybe that affected the Power Mac, but still. I'll run
it again when the copy is done.

the technique.

The speed-up here is coming from the run-time recompilation that
Rosetta does. The target processor architecture is kind of beside the
point.

Well, With rendering, disk speed also becomes a factor. The above test
was all in RAM. I'm just assuming it may be a bit different.

The speed-up might be, but without the Intel processor there would be no
Rosetta. Sandman's operation would be stuck at 46 seconds (retest), so
the target processor architecture is pivotal in that sense.

It does seem weird though that a process that requires recompilation
actually runs faster than it does natively, and by such a massive 250%
margain.

Rosetta can re-optimize on the fly where it notices opportunites to
speed up the code.

No, it doesn't. It shows the benefit of run-time code analysis. The
PPC architecture is fine. The reason for the switch is that IBM

Lefty,

Read and learn:

http://llvm.org/

The LLVM project papers describe the techniques of run-time analysis
and the performance benefits thereof. The speed improvements that
Rosetta obtains are similar to the more advanced Java and Smalltalk VMs
in use today. Compile-time optimization has to *guess*, where run-time
analysis can *measure*.

Your response makes no sense. You claimed that Rosetta's optimization

PhotoShop won't be native until CS3 is released, so this isn't TOO amazing.

Not at all amazing, save to show that the Intel chip is plenty fast when
running native code. I would expect native PhotoShop to run 5-10%
faster than the Windows version under Rosetta. It would be interesting
to see the Windows version run IN Windows and compared to the same
benchnmark run natively under MacOS X.

This would give clues concerning the relative efficiency of the graphics
subsystems--DirectX vs OpenGL, basically.

You don't think it's amazing that a Intel Mac, running non-native

Just what does the fact that CS3 is a beta have to do with it being native on

What you believe is irrelevant. You don't own either system. I have
run the benchmarks on three different machines and I don't have to
"believe" anything to see the results. You, on the other hand, has
conducted no benchmarks since you can't, yet you are here to make
claims about the benchmarks you are unable to perform yourself.

once again michael glasser shows how poor his reading is. The link Sandman
posted DID show results using CS3, however, the fact that it is a beta doesn't
figure in anyway.

Thank you for not making your new year resolution to start making sense
Snit. :)

I believe that the vast majority in here would disagree about that Snit,
therefore if it were the case it would come as a surprise to most, and by
your own twisted logic something unexpected "is likely to be not true" is
this yet another example of you arguing for both sides? ;)

Sure it is - if it were not you would not have dishonestly snipped and ran
from the above.

In the end, Sandman, you know my comments, above, are correct so you run
from them - the most likely answer to your unexpected benchmarking is that
you, as the user, are making errors. You have shown that your technical
skills are weak, even in areas you brag about, such as your web skills -
after all, you have altered your sites in ways consistent with my
suggestions *even though you put me down*, and you have had great difficulty
getting your CSS and even your HTML to validate. With such a record from
you, Sandman, there is little reason to trust your benchmarking, even though
there is no direct contrary evidence.

You know all this... you just cannot stand the fact that I happily point it
out. You have no honest and honorable response so you sink to your
trolling, lying, bragging, and otherwise making an ass of yourself...

From what? I correctly noted that your belief is irrelevant - which
you agree it was, and then proceeded to snip out what was irrelevant.

As such, Sandman, you have killed the conversation. Again. Feel free to

I accidentally misquoted someone... and then admitted to it when it was

it you "oppose" me with your lying, your trolling, and your other games.

Somehow you "accidentally" misquoted several people in that post. By the
way, how did you manage to misquote from a person I have never spoken to
from a ng I have never posted to? You never were able to explain that...

Since I'm not babbling, your question doesn't make sense, other than
to show that you are trying to dodge it once again with your
predictable "babbling" diversion.

<snip lack of response to the above issue>

You have yet to give a valid reason for quote-scavanging me at the

Note, Sandman, that not only did you not answer the question you snipped and
ran from it. I really want to know - what the hell is so wrong with you to
make you obsess over an accidental misquote from *years* ago that was, at
that time, acknowledged and apologized for? Seems not even you know - you
simply focus on that error and try to use it to excuse your trolling,
flaming, lying, and other poor behavior. That is a sure sign of sickness in
you, Sandman. You are clearly not well.

Michael Glasser still runs from the question that started this entire
thing - Why did he quote-scavenge me?

Watch him run again. :)

Why do you keep repeating this irrelevant information? I've already
told you that no one claimed that you didn't. What you *haven't* done
is explain why you were quote-scavenging me at the time. You have
refused to give an answer to that question for *years*.

As noted: all you can do is snip and run and lie. Either answer the

as with so many threads where your lies and BS are pointed out all you do is
snip and run and obfuscate. There is no reasonable chance that you will
*ever* give an honest answer as to what the hell you think is wrong with
you. All you can do is obsess over a mistake that was done and over with
*years* ago and use it as a sad excuse for your bad and dishonest behavior.

A perfectly legitimate question you've run from for "years". Given that
I had n ever interfaced with the person you misquoted and I had never
posted to that ng, there is only one answer that makes any sense... and
it's the answer you keep running from as fast as you can;)

You'd be right if it weren't for the fact that he posted what he did:

"Why do you keep repeating this irrelevant information? I've already
told you that no one claimed that you didn't."

Put the cap back on that glue tube, Snit;)

(snip Snit's ineffective method of hiding the fact that he never did
address a perfectly legitimate question based on something he did years
ago that he has never been able to explain. Of course, the answer to the
question is obvious... as Snit knows... hence his rapid pace of BS here;)

I'm not interested in what you are "noting" while dragging up old
subject in spite of claiming that you would not.

1) Be specific. Use the specific example of what it is you that is
bothering you. Vague complaints are hard to agree on, especially
in a forum like this.  

2) Don't generalize. Avoid words like "never" or "always." Such
   generalizations are usually inaccurate and will heighten tensions.

3) Don't stockpile. Storing up lots of grievances over time is
   counterproductive. It's almost impossible to deal with numerous old
   problems for which interpretations may differ. Try to deal with
   problems as they arise.

4) Agree to let the past go...
