Hello

Am I the only one to be surprised that writing some lines of text with AmigaOS cost as much time as drawing a (5000 triangles !) cow 500 times ?

Alain Thellier

@thellier

Interesting observation...

@thellier

Surprised? Why?

Text() is known to be very slow on PCI(e) machines without (active) DMA facilities. Maybe because of read-from-vram-cycles involved when "blitting" the text without a real blitter. The SAM machines have a slight advantage here with DMA (but it is still a speed penalty to use Text() on bitmaps located in vram).

It might be surprising at first, but once you know that text is rendered in software then it's no surprise any more.

@Hans

I'm staring to think it be good idea to cache the fonts in alpha bitmap.
