Speedy is the award winning benchmark utility for PalmOS based devices (on October 26th 2005, Speedy was listed number 21 in TrackerDog's all time Top 100 Popular Palm Softwares).
Speedy performs three resource taking routines to measure the real CPU speed of your device and benchmark it with other PalmOS based devices.
Speedy is especially useful in different cases :
- to check that your PalmOS based device behaves and performs like it should;
- to see the impact of CPU down/over-clocking upon your device's performance;
- to see how a specific software or hardware modifies your device's performance;
- to really compare different devices and benchmark them.
Your device's performance is ranked on several charts against baseline measurements of other common PalmOS compatible devices.
Speedy reports both a CPU frequency and a relative index (100% is for the Palm Vx at 20 MHz).
Speedy is Palm OS 5 compliant.
Speedy is Palm OS 6 ready.
