Slow LC 9 Performance - Test Stack, Video, QA Report

[Ralph DiMola]

I have observed this also. I tested by putting an animated gif in front of a extremely hi-res test image. LC 8 choked but LC9 did not even breath hard.

And I was encouraged to try a quick test - which turned out to be a counter-example. LC9 is 4x faster than LC6 on this little test (consistently over different photos).

*on mouseUp
    local tData1, tData2, time1, temp
    put URL ("binfile:/Users/alextweedly/Dropbox
(Personal)/Pictures/2016/101_0818/IMGP0021.JPG") into tData1
    put URL ("binfile:/Users/alextweedly/Dropbox
(Personal)/Pictures/2016/101_0818/IMGP0021.JPG") into tData2
    -- put tData1 into tData2
    put the millisecs into time1
    repeat 50 times
       if tData1 = tData2 then
          -- add 1 to temp
       end if
    end repeat
    put the number of bytes in tData1 && the millisecs - time1 && temp into msg end mouseUp

(it's an 18Mb image file).
Alex.
