My personal stance is that speed doesn't matter if the output is
correct and generated fast enough to keep users relatively happy.
However, when the author of a tool makes claims about the tool, it's
generally accepted practice to back those claims up with hard numbers.

It is: Read the Stats.


The test doesn't even have to be fair...most benchmarks aren't
objective in the slightest. But at the very least it proves that the
author isn't completely full of hot air.

No, there will never exist any benchmark showing anything,
in matter of Assemblers comparisons. The problem is way
too complicated, internaly, and the only thing that matters
is the time the user has to wait in between his key depressed
and the time the dead file is outputed. Period.

Example, take any synthetic file, with only instructons
inside, and several Assemblers will be faster than RosAsm.

So, the only way is with comparing two real sources which
are comparable. What i do.


It's a little unreasonable to expect someone to take a few weeks out of
their busy schedule to learn RosAsm well enough to make accurate
observations about performance.

It does not seem to me expecting too much from any user
to be able to read the Stats, provided after each [F5].
