The second revision of Benchmark has been added here (also available below) Now with two extra tests provided by trick

It's a hold for benchmarking DROD performance on your PC. I've not tested it yet with build 45 (still downloading) The tests can't just be run on their own, unfortunately, and require manual stopwatch timing. If anyone feels inclined to run the tests, please include your CPU and graphics card details with the results. I'll post a new set of build 45 results after I've had some sleep

For build 43, all results in seconds, rounded to the nearest (since using a stopwatch isn't so accurate, no point including a decimal point) I'm using the [code] [/code] tags so the results appear aligned.

Duron 800, NVidia Geforce3 TI200, default keyboard refresh rate

        Windowed  Fullscreen
Test 1  47        35
Test 2  49        38
Test 3  49        38
Test 4  51        40

PII 233, ATI Rage IIc, default keyboard refresh rate

        Windowed  Fullscreen
Test 1  90        23
Test 2  92        26
Test 3  94        26
Test 4  99        27

If anyone has good designs for additional tests (basically, something that tests either the graphics card or CPU, but allows Beethro to run through the room unhindered) I'll be happy to add them (no more than 7-8 tests though, and I'll have to include a warp room on level 1 which I've not done yet.

Here's my results. Also, i'm interested in seeing how the performance in the linux client is, compared to the same in windows, so if any of you can, run the tests in both windows and linux on the same machine

Pentium III 500mhz, NVidia Geforce 3 Ti200, 256 mb ram, build 43 linux, 24 bpp, default repeat rate:

        X Windowed  X Fullscreen  VESA FBCon Fullscreen
Test 1   51          51            39
Test 2   54          53            42
Test 3   55          54            42
Test 4   57          56            46

Interesting that it seems windowed and fullscreen are the same in X, probably because 2d acceleration is "experimental" in the nvidia driver (i do have it enabled, though). Surprisingly (or maybe not), the vesa console framebuffer is better.

I needed a little break from things that require a brain, so i threw together two more benchmarks for you . One tests what happens if 714 roaches are born at once (RoachBomb), and the other tests roach killing (RoachKill). Feel free to add them to your hold if you think they're worthy, StuartK .

Results (build 45 this time):

Pentium III 500mhz, NVidia Geforce 3 Ti200, 256 mb ram, build 45 linux, 24 bpp, default repeat rate:

           X Windowed  X Fullscreen  VESA FBCon Fullscreen
RoachBomb   57          56            46
RoachKill   57          56            47

Oh they're worthy, and have been added. Much more fun than my efforts

I've also added working stairs to all the levels in the first room.

This is becoming a rather large hold (biggest so far except for Dugan?) As a side 'benchmark' of sorts, it imports pretty quickly on my Duron, but takes about 3 minutes on my PII. Two or three more levels and we may have the biggest hold ever

Another thing to mention when reporting benchmarks (I should have considered this before) is whether sound & music are on or off. I'll post my results with build 45 next.

I wonder how long it would take to clear all rooms in the goblins with brains level and the roachkill levels... its possible....
