General discussions / Benchmark : SDL vs SFML
« on: May 14, 2008, 09:55:42 am »
Your benchmarks are severly flawed. You are comparing the software, 2D library that ships with SDL to OpenGL. Of course you are going to get a huge difference in performance - you don't even need to perform a benchmark to understand that.
What would be really interesting is to see how an SDL-driven OpenGL application performs compared to SFML. That would be a meaningful test, for two reasons: it compares similar technologies and it benchmarks against SDL the way SDL is almost always used.
