testing pango with 770

[Tapani Pälli <tapani palli nokia com>]

Hello,
Here are test results for Pango performance on 770 :

===============================
TEST : Pango performance on 770
===============================

Test programs are made by OpenedHand, all tests are measuring fullscreen
write speed.
Timestamps are taken using gettimeofday() after rendering and issuing
XSync().

Short description on tests (api, rendering function) :
   *test-pango        : xlib,    pango_xft_render
   *test-pango-gdk    : gtk/gdk, pango_xft_render
   *test-pango-gtk    : gtk,     pango_xft_render
   *test-pango-layout : gtk,     gdk_draw_layout

Text 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' is rendered to 20 rows 100 times using
'sans serif-18' font.
(Each test is renderering 52000 glyphs.)

using 770 macroboard, latest sw-build.

Notes :

* Gtk was not built with new glib, I was using the same gtk
(2:2.6.4-1.osso76) all the time. There might be some speed differences
to tests using gtk then.

* 'test-pango' is the most accurate figure here, since it's not using gtk.

* Packages were made using upstream tarballs and applying maemo-patches
(glib 5, pango 1) on top

* I will happily try running other tests aswell, don't hesitate to answer

* What is causing slowness?
