OK, I didn't read Vaykents post real well about what I was or was not suppose to do as I did the testing offline. I found a bunch of typical Macs as I figured there would be a heap of people able to post about there highend machines.

I also tested in a browser and running as an app. The times are seperated by spaces. The 4th test ussually timed out and seemed to crash the flash player probably not enough memory.
This didn't occur in OS-X as Flash runs native and therefore has virtual memory.

Mac G3 Desktop 233mhz
768mb of Ram 40gb HD 7200RPM
Three Tests: OS9.0 As App, IE5.0 (latest Patch) OS9.0, MacOSX.1 IE5.1

Test 1: 50, 117, 100
Test 2: 200, 367, 433
Test 3: 2083, 12266, 3833
Test 4: Aborted
Test 5: 33, 84, 50
Test 6: 66, 117, 100
Test 7: 283, 433, 483
Test 8: 2450, 433, 483
Test 9: Aborted


iMac DV 500mhz G3
330mb of Ram, 20gb HD 5200RPM
Three Tests: OS9.0 App, IE5.1 OS X.1, OSX.1 App (running in classic)

Test 1: 33, 50, 50
Test 2: 133, 250, 133
Test 3: 1050, 1817, 1066
Test 4: Aborted, 25533, Abort
Test 5: 83, 50, 16
Test 6: 83, 50, 33
Test 7: 166, 250,150
Test 8: 1183, 2133, 1283
Test 9: Aborted

Interesting results with tests 5,6&7 on the iMac as this is running in classic mode which is basically an emulator of first tests and you would expect it to be *much* slower. I did it purely out of interest. I was expecting the results to be a quarter of the intitial results from running classic straight. Probably a sign of the 'optimisations' that Apple did on OS-X.1 in classic mode.

Thanks
