| Benchmarking the ZX81 | The term “benchmarking” refers to the process of running a computer program on a computer and comparing the time needed to complete the program against other machines. Compilers and interpreters are also benchmarked against others in order to develop the fastest applications. One program I often use as a benchmark is the “Magic Numbers” program. | Timex/Sinclair 1000 |
