Hello Andreas,

AR> I was in a VM-building mood today and took the chance to build an
AR> updated Win32 VM based on the latest VMMaker. Since it has been a while
I tried it on the slow Machine (PIII 666MHz) I use for mail here.
I's minimally faster. The message tally shows variations below 10ms on
repeated attempts, tinyBenchmarks show the usual variations but the
new vm is always faster.

After some backups I will start sticking it under my production images
on the other machine.

Examples:
3.7VM 3.6 image '67332982 bytecodes/sec; 2024463 sends/sec'
3.9VM 3.6 image '71150639 bytecodes/sec; 2126806 sends/sec'

3.7VM 3.81 image  '67368421 bytecodes/sec; 2033638 sends/sec'
      MessageTally, application, 40% FloatArray 3464 msec
3.9VM 3.81 image  '70213933 bytecodes/sec; 2128487 sends/sec'
      MessageTally, application, 40% FloatArray 3393 msec


Thanks,

Herbert                            mailto:herbertkoenig at gmx.net
