Hello Skolman and welcome.
I know what the command does, but i don't understand what the benefits are, and most ppl here don't speak polish. Care to explain? :-)

Does this speed up 68k emulation on MOS Powerup systems? Could you elaborate a bit further?

I will do some benchmarking anyway.

I can tell you one thing for sure: it will NOT speed up the banana. ;)

And anything else is just placebo anyway.

...since MisterBananas is PPC/MOS-native and does not use Trance? ;-)

No idea if it's placebo or not - at least there is a 2-pages thread on that Polish-site, so there must be something about it.
I hope the original poster get's back to this thread.

OK, speed up IBrowse, Visage and other 68k progz. MiamiDX not crash and more :-D

Lame68k test enc audio 30 sec to mp3. BPPC 210MHz

MOS (Priorytet Trance -99 ) - time 29 min 49 sec
MOS (Priorytet Trance 0 ) - time 3 min 25 sec (!)

This can be considered the official MorphOS Team response

- Hacking Trance priority is not recommended. The perceived advantages come with a price: Anything else running at low priority will be blocked.

- The only advantage to get from these priority games comes from the fact that JIT translation is not delayed. However, this results in easily visible system jerkyness.

- Trance priority is low for a reason: JIT translation is complex operation and Trance can potentially keep the CPU 100% busy for a long time. To make sure the JIT operation doesn't bog down the whole system, low priority was chosen.

- If you choose to play tricks with the priority, you're doing this at your own risk.

Hi Piru

"- Trance priority is low for a reason: JIT translation is complex operation and Trance can potentially keep the CPU 100% busy for a long time. To make sure the JIT operation doesn't bog down the whole system, low priority was chosen."

this is exacly what i thought when i read this thread. (although what many thinks, i have a great respect and consideration for the MOS Team.... as programmers)

Anyway (only because i'm "curious like a monkey") i've tryed myself.

Whats the results? no clue honest! (apart that i can change Trance pri only through Scout)
