Let me know if this was what you were looking for libjpeg libmspack libfreetype Interpreted MIPS Binary 22.2 12.9 21.4 Compled MIPS Binary (fastest options) 3.39 2.23 4.31 Native -O3 0.235 0.084 0.201 Compled - with all case statements 3.50 2.30 4.99 Compiled - with pruned case statement 3.39 2.23 4.31 Compiled - 512 instructions/method 62.7 27.7 56.9 Compiled - 256 instructions/method 3.54 2.55 4.43 Compiled - 128 instructions/method 3.39 2.23 4.31 Compiled - 64 instructions/method 3.56 2.31 4.40 Compiled - 32 instruction/method 3.71 2.46 4.64 Compild MIPS Binary (Server VM) 3.21 2.00 4.54 Compiled MIPS Binary (Client VM) 3.39 2.23 4.31 All times are measured in seconds. These were all run on a dual 1ghz G4 running OS X 10.3.1 with Apple's latest VM (JDK 1.4.1_01-27). Each test was run 8 times within a single VM. The highest and lowest times were removed and the remaining 6 were averaged. In each case only the first run differed significantly from the rest. The libjpeg test consisted of decoding a 1280x1024 jpeg (thebride_1280.jpg) and writing a tga. The mspack test consisted of extracting all members from arial32.exe, comic32.exe, times32.exe, and verdan32.exe. The freetype test consisted of rendering characters 32-127 of Comic.TTF at sizes from 8 to 48 incrementing by 4. (That is about 950 individual glyphs). I can provide you with the source for any of these test if you'd like. -Brian
