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. Highlighted numbers indicate the smallest 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.

Disc management

Various measurements of the floppy disc speed had been taken.

Format a disc: 40 tracks (Data) or 80 tracks (Vortex or 720K Dos)
