Hi Rich,

Have you tested playing some games with the new snapshot? I have noticed
that it's significantly slower than a previous snapshot (around
2006-12-03), with the same uae config. My config probably sucks for one
or more reasons, but I'll attach it anyway (seems adequate for what I
use an Amiga environment for, WB and some games). If anyone has tips on
changing/adding/removing some options, or even a man/webpage which has
some tips, I'd be most interested, thanks.

I usually adjust the Cycles per Instruction to somewhere between 400 and
800 for a platform shooter such as Turrican 2. This is perfectly
adequate on the earlier snapshot, whereas on the new snapshot, I can't
manage to get a smooth framerate or audio playback. This is in 64bit
mode on a 2.4Ghz Athlon64 X2 4600+ running Linux (Debian Sid). I don't
think I made a profiling version (have never used that configure
option).

One last thing, I think I'm missing the Save Config button from the GTK+
GUI. That feature was convenient from time to time :-)


Config is below...

Cheers,

Jason
