EWeb 0.57: the stock Falcon within the family's Speed times.

  • A page is made and shown in turns, so the window, the menus and Esc answer while it is parsed, styled, laid out and drawn: on a stock 4 MB Falcon in 16 colours the home page answers within 90 ms (0.56: 305), the sample page 100 (290), the news page 100 (275), a page of pictures 85 (340).
  • Scrolling: a line in 50 ms (75), a page in 75 ms (105); Settings opens in 150 ms (155) and gives the window back in 40 (90).
  • Pictures: the DSP's JPEG decode and dither give GEM its turns (common's pic.c); one picture's dither never runs inside another's.
  • The fonts are unpacked 2 KB at a time, with turns between.
  • From AERA-Atari's common: faster scroll bars in boxes, faster text and boxes on the ST, the About box's ground by the CPU on a 68000, and a heap that takes exactly what it needs when memory is short.
  • The ST edition stays within its recorded floor (the 4 MB 1040 ST, DESIGN.md).
