I don't think that the MIPS cpus are better, but they aren't that bad. The worst thing is that the MIPS compiler sucks and that, as I just learned from you, MIPS asm is really a pain.
I don't take offense to your remarks about the inferiority of the MIPS processor. It can be made to actually perform almost the same (per clock) as an ARM, if you program it right (basically, using all MIPS asm, which would take you a year or so). However, as you said, memory bandwidth is a very big issue for 3d programming.
Just understand that I totally agree with what you just posted, Randall.
Die, Palm, Die. If that offended you, then get rid of your Palm OS device.
