Dear All,

since its pretty difficult to say something about wscons performance i did
the following test :

  time cat /tmp/verylargefile

it consisted of 158951 lines of text and was 6591867 bytes long
(concatenated mail archive).

The timings i got in 1280x1024 in 256 colours :

wscons font gallant 12x22
    0.019u  444.268s   7:26:40  99.5%  0+0k  0+1io 1pf+0w

wscons font sony 8x16
    0.000u  234.928s   3:59.95  97.9%  0+0k  1+1io 0pf+0w

old vidcconsole (64 lines?)
    0.008u  1661.920s 27:54.19  99.2%  0+0k  0+1io 1pf+0w

wscons font sony 8x16 in 800x600x16M
    0.009u   856.412s 14:24.93  99.0%  0+0k  1+1io 0pf+0w


So as you can imagine i am pretty much pleased with the results!!! The
compared with the sony font slower gallant font is prolly due to the 12
pixels wide and the overhead nessisary when scrolling due to blanking a
line....

The slower performance in 800x600x16M is for its allmost using a double
about of memory :)) and there are bound to be lots of more scrolling
operations due to the reduced width of the screen .....

Now only getting a *fast* Xwscons :))

Cheers and enjoy,
Reinoud
