enough to consider basic not suitable for games and avoid them at any cost =)I guess you never have tried a basic game.
i did one that measures instruction timing as for basic... oh well. its slow and slower. no need to test that for me =PIf you think it's a bad test, then just go and make your own.
it does bank switching for each and every character (each call of CHROUT)find it a bit strange that the C128 manages to slow down even the text output that much.
edit: here ... its for c64 though and probably doesnt make a lot of sense to port it to other cbm machines unless you want to compare against some accelerator (other than that it will not really give you useful numbers, assuming you know the CPU speed already :=))
