I've been putting together a multiplayer computer game that communicates via
phone lines. One thing I've noticed is that there is a substantial slowdown
of the game when it is sending data out the serial port. I don't THINK this
is anything I'm doing...could it be the interrupt overhead the serial port
handler?
On a Mac+ the slowdown appears to be between 1/3 and 1/2, but it's hard to
measure exactly.
I currently use the RAM serial driver...would use of the ROM driver be any
faster?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
