Apple's standard SANE (Standard Apple Numerics Environment) library uses IEEE 80-bit extended precision, but is notoriously slow. Total execution time for a 20-minute audio track dropped from 48 minutes to 6.2 minutes. Make sure you install the 32-bit Enabler on older IIci machines running System 7.1! -- Marisol Kim *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From jstewart@pacbell.net Sat Apr 29 03:42:12 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!pacbell!jstewart From: jstewart@pacbell.net (Ji-woo Stewart) Newsgroups: comp.sys.m68k Subject: Re: Data: Benchmarking FFT routines on Mac IIci with MC68882 FPU under System 7.5 Message-ID: <1995Apr29.034212.4250@pacbell.net> Date: Sat, 29 Apr 1995 03:42:12 GMT References: <1995Apr27.142512.2797@inria.fr> Organization: Pacific Bell Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: pacbell.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1995Apr27.142512.2797@inria.fr>, mkim@inria.fr (Marisol Kim) writes: > Can a 1989 Mac IIci decode a 40-minute LP in reasonable time? Mac users bragging about 6-minute render times while Unix workstations do it in 20 seconds.
