I would if you'd give me any, I'm still not going to believe you until
you, or someone else here, provides me with benchmarks that show me a
*large* application for RosAsm and another assembler, and their speeds
assembling that. I don't take someone's word on the question of speed,
I want the files, the assembler versions, average time the assembler
spends (yes, this means repeated runs considering it ), system
specifications, does the app work as expected. You know; the works.
Provide me with the stats of RosAsm against, say, FASM and MASM32, and
I'll start to believe you. Until then what you say is worthless.

Peace out,

Been there, done that.
I took a disassembly of RosAsm (done with IDA Pro 4.3) and ran it
through MASM. MASM compiled the output *much* faster than did RosAsm.
Now to be fair, this was *before* the last performance update for
RosAsm, but based on that benchmark, I'd suggest that MASM and RosAsm
are roughly equivalent, maybe with RosAsm having a slight edge, today.

OTOH, on the basis of other benchmarks I've run, FASM is about 2.5x
faster than RosAsm. And this *is* comparing the latest version of
RosAsm against FASM.

Of course, expect Rene to start hollering about how incompetent I am
for creating benchmarks. After all, they disprove his claims. And when
you ask *him* for proof of his claims, he'll compare RosAsm compiling
itself against FASM compiling a completely different program. Yeah,
right; that's a competent benchmark.
Cheers,
