Short: Speed up patch for your 68020+ Amiga Author: Adam Polkosnik (lucky@silly.com) Uploader: Rob Sullivan (sullr sk sympatico ca) Type: util/boot Version: 0.2 Alpha Replaces: util/boot/APatchBeta* Requires: Amiga with 68020 or better Architecture: m68k-amigaos Distribution: NoCD Please note that this is E-MailWare. · What is it and what it does APatch is a small patch that replaces some OS functions with faster and 020+ optimized ones. Although you may not notice any difference... Due to the fact that some of the system IO routines are patched to execute faster, one can't measure their speed properly without hiting the hardware directly... · What patches are replaced? · ExecPatch · CPUClr · CopyMemQuicker · FastWaitBlit · IPatch, FastInterrupts · FasterForbid · BlackBorder and probably more (sooner or later) · How it works Apatch was made in a such way that it allocates a few hundred bytes, patches functions to point to that allocated area then quits. · Why? Because it's a speedup patch not another patch that would waste the precious CPU time.
