Hello, I replaced the byteswap code by assembler inlines and decreased the IPS, and now it seems faster. Booting time is really okay. I have seen real machines where it lasts the same time or even longer... i will measure it later, since I had no time for further tests. WinXP is working in MorphOS version now as far as I can see, no blue screen anymore as it was on 2.4.x. Regards Thore Gesendet: Mittwoch, 03.

How about boot time ? Stanislav From: Thore Sittly [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 03, 2013 1:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bochs-developers] bochs on MorphOS Hello The MorphOS port is almost done, just need to check some minor issues with e.g. graphics. But it's way too slow. On a 1GHz PowerPC host machine, WinXP needs more than 8 hours to install. Do you have some ideas to speed it up? If it's the byte swap, what possibilities do we have? Some months before we thought about pre-swapped memory or JIT. But this is really complicated. I also thought about replacing instructions with fixed values by pre-swapped commands, ("inventing" new commands which behaves like big endian and replace the LE commands with this replacements at runtime, by using not used mnemonics?) but not sure if this could work. Another idea could be improving the reading speed of the devices. Any more idea or concerns? :) Thank you Kind regards Thore Sittly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Minimize network downtime and maximize team effectiveness.
