:::I still think the FPS should be rethought; Do you really want to set up the test on one computer; will then install 12 different C-compilers, LabView, etc.? Learning all compiler flags, libraries, etc?
:::For me RC is more about the languages and in this task compiled languages that fits nicely into the CPU’s cache (ex. PureBasic, C++, etc.) will excel, while in a task where we communicate with a web-server and spend ~99.99% of the time waiting all languages will be equal fast. If performance should be a part of RC it should in some way be standardized before so that we have one common way to compare it – bad data is often much worse the no data. --[[User:Jofur|<Jofur>]] 16:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:::: I'm inclined to agree; performance numbers are only meaningful when the underlying operating platforms are comperable. On the topic of performance comparison, I wouldn't be averse to hosting code speed tests, but that would have to be backed by something like Amazon EC2, would still represent a massive amount of administrative overhead, and I'd have to be getting paid by RC to afford the personal and computer time. In other words, not likely to happen any time soon. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 21:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry about performance comparisons between languages. Put the code for FPS in there so people can see how to do it. Don't use it to say any example is better than another. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 21:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
: What are we counting? Frames generated, or frames drawn? If frames generated, then that kind of show-how would probably be better done in a different task. (Actually, I think I created that task once before. Don't remember which it is.) --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 21:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
