Re: [Gnash-dev] script to activate port

[Markus Gothe]

I think this is feasible, speed should not be an issue with a decent
computer according to my benchmarks: It utilies 2% of my 1.8GHz Athlon
CPU, but *sigh* 20-30% of the 512MB RAM whilst playing elvis.swf.

However this will change to the better during development and as it get
stable the compiler can do a better job optimizing the code.

At the moment I'd not be concerned about speed (however there are
reports about gnash eating 100% of the CPU), the big problem is (from my
point of view) unstability issues.

I think this is a good approach and one of the purposes of a free
software flash player... I'm also interested in which kind of Operating
System you are using in your research, since it is quite easy under a
Unix /dev-filesystem to send commands to various devices.
