Re: [mcclim-devel] making freetype more portable

Finally, if any of you have clim-freetype up and running on SBCL or CMUCL, can you do an experiment for me? Gtkairo's font drawing is currently relatively slow compared to CLX. What I do not know is how it compares to clim-freetype.

Could you perhaps benchmark CLX+Freetype for me? You don't need gtkairo for that. Just run clim-demodemo, select the drawing benchmark and run it with the text drawing option. The interesting bit would be to compare the resulting score between CLX with freetype and without.

Haha. On my x86-64 workstation:

CLX: ~ 1000 +/- 30 operations/s CLX+Freetype ~ 50 +/- 2 operations/s
