==========
What?
GtkPerf is an application designed to test GTK+ performance. The point is to
create common testing platform to run predefined GTK+ widgets (opening
comboboxes, toggling buttons, scrolling text etc.) and this way define the
speed of device/platform.
Why?
I know that bencmarking tools (including GtkPerf) can be fooled and don't give
real-life results. Yet, I belive that GtkPerf can be helpful to solve for
example this kind of things:
* How fast is my software platform compared to others?
* How fast is my hardware compared to others?
* How fast/slow GTK+ is with different themes?
* Is there any notably slow widgets when using my GTK+ theme(engine)?
* How much does GTK+ performance increase when moving e.g. from GTK+ 2.4 -> 2.6?
* How much does GTK+/GDK perfomance increase when updating X-server?
* Can GTK+ be efficiently used in embedded devices?
Tests
=====
The tests are separate from each other with the same main logic: Making single
test operation (opening combo box, drawing n circles, etc.) and waiting for that
to get processed are returned to g_idle. So every test is jumping between test
function and g_idle as fast as possible.
These tests are provided (in 0.30).
GtkEntry (on_idle_gtkentry_test)
-----
Switches between "Test String" and "Longer test string" texts for [count] times.
GtkComboBox (on_idle_gtkcombobox_test)
-----
GtkComboBox contains 10 entrys "Selection 1"..."Selection 10". This test opens
and closes GtkComboBox [count] times while selecting next entry.
GtkComboBoxEntry (on_idle_gtkcomboboxentry_test)
-----
GtkComboBoxEntry contains 10 entrys "Selection 1"..."Selection 10". This test
opens and closes GtkComboBoxEntry [count] times while selecting next entry.
GtkSpinButton (on_idle_gtkspinbutton_test)
-----
GtkSpinButton value is increased with one [count] times. When 1000 is reached,
value is changed back to 0.
GtkProgressBar (on_idle_gtkprogressbar_test)
-----
GtkProgressBar is increased with 1% [count] times. Whenever bar gets full,
its value is set to 0.
GtkToggleButton (on_idle_gtktogglebutton_test)
-----
GtkToggleButton state is toggled between on/off [count] times.
GtkCheckButton (on_idle_gtkcheckbutton_test)
-----
GtkCheckButton state is toggled between on/off [count] times.
GtkRadioButton (on_idle_gtkradiobutton_test)
-----
Two GtkRadioButtons inside same group are witched to be selected alternately
[count] times.
GtkTextView - Add text (on_idle_gtktextview_addtext_test)
-----
Text "Future is Open. " is appended to GtkTextView [count] times.
GtkTextView - Scroll (on_idle_gtktextview_scroll_test)
-----
Scrolls the text added in earlier test GTK_SCROLL_STEP_FORWARD and when end is
reached GTK_SCROLL_STEP_BACKWARD for [count] times.
GtkDrawingArea - Lines (on_idle_gtkdrawingarea_lines_test)
-----
Draws random size and color lines to GtkDrawingArea for 1000*[count] times.
GtkDrawingArea - Circles (on_idle_gtkdrawingarea_circles_test)
-----
Draws random size and color circles to GtkDrawingArea for 1000*[count] times.
GtkDrawingArea - Text (on_idle_gtkdrawingarea_text_test)
-----
Draws random size and color "Future is Open." strings with PangoLayout to
GtkDrawingArea for 100*[count] times. Font used is "Sans Bold 16".
GtkDrawingArea - Pixbuf (on_idle_gtkdrawingarea_pixbufs_test)
-----
Draws Duck.png to random place in GtkDrawingArea for 10*[count] times.
maemo
=====
To make GtkPerf Hildonized" (see http://www.maemo.org) and make it work nicelu in Nokia 770, do this:
1) Enable this line in configure.in:
#MAEMO_MODULES="libosso hildon-base-lib hildon-lgpl hildon-libs"
2) Enable this line in appdata.h:
//#define HILDONIZED
Now compile normally and GtkPerf uses maemo-specific changes in code!
