Why doesn my favorite benchmarking program show big speedups with QuickBits?

Short answer: Because it isn’t measuring the things QuickBits speeds up. Longer answer: Most benchmark programs are designed to measure raw execution speed. While QuickBits has some impact on raw speed by reducing memory wait states, its biggest performance gains come from the optimization of individual PalmOS operations. If your benchmark program doesn’t measure these operations, it can’t show you the benefits. QuickBits’ built-in benchmarking facility specifically measures the operations it optimizes.
