PDAGold Compare Performance of WM2003 and WM2003SE
"When Microsoft launched Windows Mobile 2003, the main reason for upgrading was performance boost due to code optimisation. I was curious to find out whether users can expect any performance improvement with an upgrade to Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition, too. Considered the current (non-)availability of upgrades, this debate may be a little academic. Still, I compared benchmark results for Toshiba e400 before and after the OS upgrade."
Pavel from PDAGold then lists five benchmarks in this brief article about what performance benefits folks can expect when moving from WM2003 to WM2003SE (where the OEMs have made upgrades available). I won't give the results away, but I must say I was a little surprised about what the benchmarks showed. What about you?

Well, seems it's almost the same, so more features (O.K., just a few) don't slow performance.

I could be totally off base here, but could it be that the benchmarking software isn't totally ready for WM2003SE?

Microsoft strikes again with more bloat, or actually, fractional bloat!

Well, I beleive that SPB do know what they are doing. :wink:
I do think that this shows that as Pavel says, there was no optimisation 'under the hood' of WM2003SE compared to WM2003. Disappointing. :|

More feature on the same processor + the same amount of memory = slow down. I think that is only logical.

Well this will prolly get deleted by the post police, but I still say HP sucks.
They should have given recent purchasers an upgrade.
This has soured my taste for PPC's beyond belief.
This will probably be my last. Tricked out light weight laptops, or perhaps and OQO type device will be the future for me. Also the last thing I want is a cell phone pda, man I drop my phone so often, lol that would last a week at most.

I had a really good long reply to this post... But then I decided it wasn't worth it.

Why would the moderators delete it? The only thing they might do is to split the thread.

Well, good luck with whatever you find!
Anyway, back ontopic: SE might not be slower, but it does certainly feel a bit slower in VGA. Of course, that might be because it's moving more pixels around. And it is most definitely much slower rebooting, at least on my e805.

Uh, thanks for staying on topic! :roll:
I have to say, I was surprised at how close the results were. I venture to say that most people won't notice the difference.
