Comments/suggestions welcome: white space) Run 1: SLP 15 full frames (612*792) time for 15 frames (min): 1:23, 1:24, 0:54, 0:51, 0:51 -> 0.3 fps Run 2: reduced window (map + text: 488*397): time for 15 frames (sec): 24,36,21,14,5,3.7(+-.2) -> 4.1 fps Run 3: reduced window (map only: 487*241) time for 15 frames (sec): 6-47 sec init., after 3 passes: 1.35 (+-.05) -> 11.1 fps Run 4: same as in Run 3, but additionally ScreenScape running. 10, 5 sec initially, after 3 passes: 1.66(+-.01) (sec) -> 9 fps Run 5: sequence of images (485*243): load from disk: 1:17 min after 3 passes with ScreenScape: 1.7 sec -> 8.8 fps Run 6: same as in Run 5 but without ScreenScape: after 3 passes: 1.4 sec -> 10.7 fps Run 7: Tiny window: min time for 15 frames (sec): .95 -> 16 fps Run 8: same as in Run 1, but only with 5 frames (loading: 3:03 min) time for 5 frames (sec): 28, 10, 15, then 0.96 sec -> 5.2 fps Run 9: same as in Run 8 but with ScreenScape: time for 5 frames (sec): .... 1.43 -> 3.5 fps Run 10: same as in Run 8 but only one head: loading in 22 sec. time for 5 frames (sec): 6,9,5,1 -> 5 fps

Icon may not be the best program to use for doing speed benchmarks. -Erik
