Revision as of 13:43, 3 March 2011
This article provides information about the real measured speeds of the CPC's hardware using different software. The abbreviaton "n.f." means "not feasible", since some software is not capable of performing a particular task. Numbers in bold indicate the smallest needed time. All experiments have been repeated 10 times, the statistic means is given.
On CPC emulators the times can vary, for this tests only real CPCs has been used. For this tests the Dobbertin HD20 hard disc has been used.

Various measurements of the floppy disc speed had been taken.
Format a disc: 40 tracks (Data) or 80 tracks (Vortex or 720K Dos)
| Format | FutureOS | XD-DOS | Disc'o'Magic | CP/M 2.2 | CP/M 3.1 | Utopia | Windows 2000 |
| Data | 16 | 17 | 18 | 33 | 33 | 43 | n.f. |
| Vortex | 64 | 65 | n.f. | 65 | n.f. | n.f. | 104 |
Copy a disc: 40 / 80 tracks, one or two drives
| Tracks & Drives | FutureOS | XD-DOS | Disc'o'Magic | CP/M 2.2 | CP/M 3.1 | Utopia | Windows 2000 |
| 40 tracks, 1 drive | 20 | n.f. | 42 | 66 | 63 | 71 | n.f. |
| 40 tracks, 2 drives | 20 | n.f. | 42 | 69 | 69 | 69 | n.f. |
| 80 tracks, 1 drive | 77 | n.f. | n.f. | 257 | n.f. | n.f. | n.f. |
| 80 tracks, 2 drives | 76 | n.f. | n.f. | 207 | n.f. | n.f. | n.f. |
Copy a file of 40 KB, 176 KB or 400 KB with two drives or partitions (HD20 hard disc)
| Size & Device | FutureOS | XD-DOS | Disc'o'Magic | CP/M 2.2 | CP/M 3.1 | Utopia |
| 40 KB, floppy | 6 | 19 | 10 | 33 | 18 | n.f. |
| 40 KB, hard-disc | 2,5 | 13 | n.f. | 12 | 4 | n.f. |
| 176 KB, floppy | 25 | 74 | 34 | 132 | 70 | n.f. |
| 176 KB, hard-disc | 9 | 42 | n.f. | 38 | 18 | n.f. |
| 400 KB, floppy | 55 | n.f. | n.f. | 147 | 107 | n.f. |
