abstract drawing speed test for Lemmix

[EricLang]

I am testing full screen drawing speed.
On my machine this is quite fast (almost 300 frames per second on a huge monitor), probably because of hardware acceleration.

If you would like to test it I would like to get back some results here (windows version and the frames per second).
Down here a link with a zipfile and a windows executable in it.

Press <ENTER> to start drawing and press <ENTER> again to stop drawing.
When stopped you see a messagebox with the number of frames per second.
<ESCAPE> of <Alt + F4> stops the program.

The programs draws 400 random 64x64 blocks to a buffer and then draws the buffer to the screen.

Thanks in advance.

I have an over-sized monitor as well. I got 139 frames per second. (145 when I turn off my music player and other programs)
Windows 7 home edition. I can't tell you much else but my PC has pretty good video hardware it handles most modern games fine. (although Portal 2 had some annoying lag at times...  )

Ah, I forgot to post my results.

I usually run my computer with high-speed, turbo boost etc disabled, basically, always in "low power" mode. In this I get 120 frames per second (exactly, that's not a rounded number). When I enable all those things, as well as run it with my powerful video card rather than the built-in weaker (but less power-intensive) one, I get 239 frames per second. 17 inch monitor in 1366x768 resolution, and my computer is a laptop if that matters. It's a Core i7, I forget the exact model but it's a quad-core 2GHz, and I have 4GB RAM, no idea what speed the RAM is.

reporting 273 fps here (win7/12GB)

Okidoki thanks!
Slowest result was a 5 or 6 year old PC doing 110 frames per second.
Let's say that I lose 1/3 of time on game-processing I still get enough frames per second.
By default I'll use a fullscreen paint method, but will try my old method too (erasing parts - process game - drawing parts)
