mach-o is not intriniscally faster than CFM
Authored by: bryanzak on Apr 10, '02 10:58:23AM
I can't believe you're taking a guy named 'd00d' at his word.

mach-o binaries are NOT intrinsically faster than CFM. And in fact, it's quite possible that CFM binaries, even with the tiny bits of glue needed to talk to mach-o binaries, might be faster than mach-o binaries.

This issue was discussed at length on the Mac Games Development list a few weeks ago. You can check out the archives yourself at http://lists.apple.com/search

(I'd post a direct link, but the search is down right now.)

It wasn't d00d's word I was taking, but what I had read elsewhere concerning CFM vs Mach-O. But I wasn't aware of the discussion you linked to; I'll definitely give it a read.

As an aside, the guy's username doesn't mean much one way or the other to me. Glancing through the registrant names here, for example, is often an entertaining thing to do ;-).

Thanks for the pointer;
-rob.
