these are some benchmark (probably not realy accurate) should give a really gross idea.. i measured the time elased to convert to pass 1000 icons 32x32 argb32 a) converting to png passing the data over dbus and uncompressing again, 10 runs: 3.442 3.404 3.474 3.262 3.254 3.474 3.354 3.584 3.415 3.363 average 3.403 seconds 293.858 icons/second
b) passing uncompressed raw data, (just image.bits() copied) 2.620 2.656 2.512 2.584 2.588 2.560 2.541 2.552 2.584 2.520 average 2.572 seconds 388.802 icons/second that's faster, even if not mindboggling faster still not tried with pixmap handles, should be way faster, but still think portability concerns are way too much now, with png is where the code and the api is simpler/nicer but is the slowest with raw data it would be compatibe with toolkits that don't have png (there are things with dbus support where png could be a prblem? seems unlikely but..) soooo, opinions? :) Cheers, Marco Martin _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
