Trolltech 員工對於 OPIE 與 GPE 的比較

Trolltech 的員工 Lorn Potter 在兩篇 blog [ Blazingly fast FUD busters] 與 [fud busting part II] 中，對 Qt/Embedded 為基礎的 [OPIE] 與 Gtk+/X11 為基礎的 [GPE] 做了初步效能比較。他一開頭就說：

Over the last 5 years of my handheld development experience, I have heard quite a lot of FUD about Qtopia and it’s offspring, Opie. Today I heard a doozy, “We didn’t use Qtopia because GPE is blazingly fast”.

I have had enough of hearing that Gpe and X are so much more faster than Opie and Qtopia. I know from 5 years of experience in the linux handheld development world, that is just not true.

而這兩篇 blog 也提供令人印象深刻的數據，不過呢，Florian Boor (GPE/Maemo hacker) 回應：

Nice you found out how to make GPE applications dead slow. You should have tried a kernel that doesn’t use these ancient RAM drives… But well - if you go on like this you will never find out why GPE is much faster than what you noticed… Good that it’s you who needs to feel ashamed for what you publish ;-)

至於實際的運作情況，還是要視組態設定而定，就我個人的經驗，GPE 是很有機會跑得比 Qtopia 略快，當然問題就是關鍵性應用程式。
