Some interesting results obtained with QuickIndex 1.5
(the ST System Performance Evaluation Program by Darek Mihocka
and Ignac Kolenko). This program tests the performance of some
aspects of the Atari.

GEM-Draw-Test (multiple drawing of a dialogue):

System software         'normal'    with blitter

TOS 1.4                 100%        133%
TOS 1.4 with GDOS        78%         97%
TOS 1.4 with AMCGDOS     90%        115%
ABC-GEM 2.1 (GDOS is
built-in!!!)            158%        231%

This shows, that the performance of GEM could be enhanced by
- killing those Line-F-Traps in the AES
- integrating GDOS (no double trap-dispatcher)
