8. CPU Performance: Heap Management

In heap management, the benchmark measures main-memory management using the recursive Fibonacci function. The Fibonacci algorithm invokes itself recursively to calculate the result, testing the management of the dynamic memory (heap).

It was a head-to-head race between Pocket Loox and Asus MyPal, with neither emerging a clear winner.

Performance: 2D Graphics

The graphics benchmark also consists of three subroutines that display geometric figures such as ellipses, rectangles and polygons, using Windows CE's GDI (Graphic Device Interface). As the GDI is the basis of all Windows programs, it is a meaningful factor in evaluating graphics performance. It measures the time needed to "draw" different geometric figures.

The Pocket Loox from FSC performs the best in this test.

Data Throughput

The benchmark calculates data throughput by continuously writing and reading a 1 MB file.
