Thanks Seema. That makes sense. Good to know it’s being fixed.

Hi,
Known bug which is getting fixed . when it comes down to it, the bug is: SetValue of a double takes 10x slower on the Mac than Windows. The issue is that some minute function was written in assembly, and that was not translated to intel-mac. Multiple ways to fix, we will get the fix out shortly.

Sorry about letting this one through. Let me know if you see any other disparities between Mac & Windows performance.

Same thing here..

I get to a page with a “get Microsoft Silverlight” logo. I did the download and download and still get the same page (windows xp).

At least it not the “click here to activate this control” that many mac developpers are leaving here and there (if you dont see it, you cant fix it!) ah! ah!

Mark: The MacBook Pro is probably the fastest Vista ready laptop on the market (I run bootcamp).

As regards to the problem, what Tim said +1. It’s a bug, “..the beatings will continue until moral improves..”

hey keith i think there are some known issues with the alpha on mac right now…we’re working on it and i believe this is one of them. it’s still an early alpha build for now, so some of these sporadic issues will be there in these builds.

I don’t see a fps counter… have you implemented one?

If not, its not hard to use the plugin’s (shown in the browser status bar). I usually put it in the onLoad event of createObjectEx():

events: {onLoad:function(){document.getElementById(“SilverlightControl”).settings.EnableFrameRateCounter = true;}

thats an obvious lie. There is no way Scott owns a MacBook Pro…

hmm… Taking a look at the code now… ( I ran it on my MacBook Pro and didn’t notice the CPU hike but i’m also running a different Runtime than you would typically so that could be why – which may indicate it’s fixed in future iterations heh *may* )
