What about the scratch (VM). I know with UNIX you have a special UNIX Swap format for VM, but the Mac OS X does not seem to take advantage of it or even offer it as an option. Have you tried putting the VM on both the HFS+ and the UFS drives?

That was what I was doing... I imported graphics into the PB (which autoupdated in IB) and then I placed the images (PICT) in the NSImageView Box. I tried every option available within the class in IB. What I have not tried yet, and I have not had the time yet, is the TIFF format and using...

I was talking to one of the employees and they said that there was a new version of OmniWeb coming sometime in September. Can't wait!

My current is: 7:40PM up 1 day, 6:36, 1 user, load averages: 0.20, 0.42, 0.46 don't know what my best is, but not much more than that... you know with the California power crisis and all... gotta go and pay my $500 electric bill.

Project Builder (gcc) does have different levels of optimization. By default, during "development" the optimization is turned off to allow for debugging. To change Optimization (in PB), go to the "Project Menu", select "Edit Active Target", change to the "Build Settings" tab, and under the...

Previous threads about this subject suggested that it increased VM access when you computer is using more than 80MB of VM (like with Photoshop or other memory hogs). It increases speed because of less fragmentation, and only one file to sort through. The idea situation is to have a dedicated...

Even though I live in the Los Angeles area, and I buy my memory from the East Coast, they still charge me Sales Tax because I live in a State that they happen to have an office in. It doesn't make a lot of since, but that is government for you.

I have been recently studying about Bitwize and binary manipulation. Instead of working with doubles, why not write a formula that works with binary, and only displays the result as a standard double. For example, you have a page of a novel as your seed-text. Then you sample the time. Say...

I agree with the copy and paste thing... I was almost expecting it to work the other day. I think that it should definitely be an option. The other thing that I am a little annoyed with is the Apple-E / Apple-Y thingie going back and forth between OS 9 and OS X.

I have a B&W 400 at work, and it has 4 slots. I do not know if it will take the 512mb, but I don't think so. I do have two 256mb and one 128mb for a grand total of 640mb. One of the chips that I have in there is a PC133 CL2, the same that the new G4's run with. There is very little speed...

Yeah, that is microsoft for yah... I wonder if the 6.4 GFlops is even running XP64, or if it is running a bare minimum version of Unix. I am assuming that this is the server version of XP and not the client, right? I would assume that they require that much memory to be able to support all...

hey rharder, can you write a benchmarking app that would test the following... 1) random numbers like you have to test CPU. 2) memory access a) alloc 32mb of data and do something b) alloc 64mb of data and do something c) alloc 128mb of data and do something d) alloc 256mb...

I am going off my memory here... OS 7 came out around 1992-93 There have been a lot of changes inbetween 7 and 9, but it is essentially the same operating system (with more bells and whistles). The change from OS 6 to OS 7 was not quite as drastic as OS 9 to OS X, but the similiarities...

rharder: you mentioned that you did nothing with the random numbers that you were generating. If you are going to wait minutes for the results, why don't you just SUM and average the random numbers. At the end of the loop, assuming you are generating numbers between 0 and 1, you should...

You know, that leads me to another thought... Might be that if you ran the program as root (different priority level) it would perform better. Have you benchmarked it on your desktop machine? Maybe it is a powerbook issue (slower clocks if using battary or something like that).

Right now what I have is... //----------------------------------// char buttonvalue; char *currentNumber; int i; //keeps track of the char array for currentNumber double myRealNumber; buttonvalue = [sender title]; //only one char for the title currentNumber[i] = buttonvalue...

I am trying to learn Cocoa, but do not have a solid understanding of C (only been learning it for three months). I have a project that I need to input a string one number at a time, convert it to a float for calculations, and convert it back to a string for display. I know that you use the...

First off, I have downloaded and installed the update to PB and IB. (1.01 and 2.01 respectively) I created a 32-bit PICT file (with alpha channel) image at 100% resolution, and I am having very strange results with the images. Sometimes it displays the image, but offsets it up and cuts it...

Assuming you follow the suggestions above, and it still does not improve... You might want to open up the computer and check to see that everything is solidly connected. You RAM is obviously working, but it may not be firmly sitting in it's socket. Also check to see if the heatsink is...

Is the program a Command Line one, or is it a GUI. Do you think Aqua has anything to do with the performance hits? Maybe when 10.1 is released it will score better.
