adopting RPCEmu. After using the latter (0.8.9 Recompiler version)
daily for 4 months on a fast PC, it is clear to me that the Iyonix is
outperformed in most respects, and the benchmarking I have done
(!Firebench, !ROmark) supports this impression. With one substantial
exception however: for graphics work generally, e.g. when manipulating
several JPEGs on screen simultaneously using !Thump or !Photodesk, the
Iyonix is much smoother and more responsive, with none of the 'black
striping' that occurs with RPCEmu when one image is moved on top of
another and the emulator backfills the underlying image.
The PC has a reasonably powerful graphics card, but presumably RPCEMu
can't access this directly, whereas the Iyonix can with its card. For
the record I'm using 0.8.9/4.02 with 256MB RAM; 0.8.8/5.17 is better,
but only marginally. I haven't tried 0.8.9/5.19. If there is any fix
available I'd be interested to know it as I do a fair amount of image
manipulation, in fact, RISC OS is my preferred platform, due to
familiarity and the intuitive GUI.
