What performance can be expected from TASM?
Many factors affect performance. Here are some observed lines/second measurements for assemblies of 6502 source code on various platforms: • 15000 lines/second on a 500 MHz Pentium based PC. • 40000 lines/second on a 2 GHz Pentium based PC. Of historical note, early versions of TASM running on a PC/AT class machine (circa 1985) typically achieved about 20 lines/second.
