On the Dell tech support forum someone posted such numbers for PPC2002 (I've removed some non-important results):
Device, "DellAximX5", PPC2002, 400MHz
Integer 26.93,
FloatingPoint 12.68,
BitBlt 40.19,
StretchBltDown 4.80,
StretchBltUp 6.50,
Ellipse 2.45,
Rectangle 8.88,
RoundRect 1.86,
Lines 89.00,
GAPIFPS 46.992,
GAPISprite 48,
Text 8.10,
Memory 11.47,
MemoryFill 0.94,
MemoryMove 0.39,
So the things are going stranger and stranger! Actually some tests show on PPC2002 lower results than PPC2003 A05! So 2003 is definitely worth the upgrade, but not to the A04 ROM :)
To summarize, here in percents are shown the results relative to ROM A05 of ROMs A03 (first number) and A04 (second number):
BitBlt: 100% 70%
StretchGrow: 67% 84%
StretchShrink 83% 91%
Filled Ellipse: 62% 48%
Filled Rectangle: 96% 53%
Ok, so you got the idea. This all looks fascinating! It looks like those M$ guys can't write even a optimized rectangle filling routine :-( Like they could ever...
So the A05 ROM definitely looks like it's best of the all ROMs (I'm supposing all Axim Advanced models have similar performing hardware).Oh well, it looks like it's time to set up a cross-compiler and help those guys at
www.handhelds.org to finish the Axim port of Linux...
