So far I have 2 prototype laptops, whith one running windows (yuk).
The initial perl code is able to run a slideshow in fullscreen, with dithering for 16 bit video mode.
Test with a Toshiba Protege 3480CT Laptop:
- PIII 600Mhz
- 64MB RAM
- 11GB HD
- screen is 1024x768x16 (video card can do 24 bits, but not the LCD)
- opening a 300kB 1024x768 jpg takes less than 1s
- scaling takes 2-3s (when displaying in 512x384)
- dithering to 15 bits takes about 8s (oddly enough it takes longer to dither a smaller window:9-10s)
- average of 12s processing per picture ... slow but acceptable for a picture frame
