It was in AmigaOS 4.0 July Update.

Hello,

Do you know went the shared objects concept was included in AmigaOS?

There are shared objects in the first version of AmigaOS 4.1. But I don't have previous version for checking.

Anyone knows?

Thanks.

Hello Mikey_C,

I'm curious, so I made a simple comparative, nothing more. There is no goal to change opinion about both systems.

BTW, it underline some intersting facts like USB which is faster on OS4/AmigaOne than OS4/Pegasos II. ZoneXplorer is also better on an AmigaOne than a Pegasos II/G4. So if this comparative could enhanced some points of the future version of AmigaOS 4.1 on Pegasos II, it will useful for users.

I have updated the comparative about performance between AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS 2.3 on a Pegasos II.

This comparative is based on 23 groups of benchmarks including boot time, processor, 3D, USB, IDE hard disk, WarpOS emulation, 68k emulation, etc.

This update added 3 new tests (CD/DVD read, DvPlayer and DnetC), and has made a revision to 2 of the old tests (MPlayer and Lha), and has added some new conclusions.

The article is in French but very easy to understand, and it's available on

@Varthall

These easter eggs are also in the full version of IBrowse 2.4.

@Mikey_C

Flash implementation is too slow to be really useable, especially on the smallest OS4 machines.

I hope Andrea and Fabien can optimize their Flash player but I don't know if it's simple or not.

I agree with ChrisH. JXFS is not "several times" faster than SFS2. Simply make a try in the same partition with different filesystems.

In my review of AmigaOS 4.1, JXFS was not really faster than SFS or SFS2 :

If somebody else could do some test on his hard drive, it could confirm this (or not).

On my Pegasos 2, it takes only 4 seconds to display the full desktop with full of software's icons. Without the IDE patch, it's a bit slower.
