Qt - work in progress

@abalaban

Yes, I agree. I didn't want to "blame" some possible slowness of a potential amiga QT-implementation. On the contrary! I just wanted to disagree with the statement: "QT is fast on a phone, then it must be fast on Amiga, too."

Sorry, for taking this off-topic :-|

I didn't read statement like that but rather "Qt is fast on a phone, so it *can* be on AmigaOS PPC". Will it be is another question.
But you are right : that's enough off topic for now !

Good luck alfkil : Qt is a good framework, hope you'll manage to reach end of your project.

Of course the number of pixels has an impact: Given similar CPUs (and bandwidth), if you have 3.4 times the number of pixels to generate & render, then it will take 3.4 times as long (roughly).

Many applications can cheat though, by using hardware acceleration. For example, scrolling can avoid redrawing everything by "just" telling the gfx-card to move a block of pixels (which is much much faster than the CPU doing it).

But web browsing can be very complex to render, so (a) there are less opportunities to optimise it using hardware acceleration, so some pages will be more dependant on the CPU power, and (b) Nokia has more money to spend on optimisation than we do (at one stage OWB was very slow, now it is really quite nice).

Yes, that was what I was trying to say:
