UF Benchmark Test #2 - Instructions

The image size is 640x480. Please could you test this on your own PC by
seeing how long it takes to complete drawing in UF's fractal window when
opened. You will get the fastest results if you have all other
applications closed and any unnecessary background tasks disabled when
you do this. If you could do two runs of this test that would be great, but do
make sure you close down and re-start UF between tests and always paste
the text parameters rather than opening any saved fractal (.ufr) files.

Additionally, if you have time, please render the image to hard disk
(640x480px) in .TIF format with AA settings set to "Normal" on UF's render
dialog and note the time taken to complete this task.
Enabling "Generate log file" on the render dialog will create a record of the
time taken to do this. The log can be found in the same folder as the rendered image.

I will also need the following details on your system, which can be obtained
from the Properties panel of My Computer in Windows:

- CPU: brand, type and speed (GHz)
- Amount of RAM (plus type and speed if known)
- Operating system, and whether 32-bit or 64-bit

Please send your results privately to me if you like (to save on excess
chatter on the UF mailing list) or you can post publicly to the list if you prefer.
My email addy is the From address I use on the list.

Thank you for participating in this UF benchmarking project!

- Chris Martin
