Without investing a lot of effort, the best I have is this: http://www.codeotaku.com/journal/2009-05/run-time-polymorphism/index http://www.codeotaku.com/journal/2009-05/run-time-polymorphi... In addition, my entire lament is that it's not easy to compare Metal to anything else. Ideally, this would tell you whether function dispatch was REALLY a big issue or not. > Also you seem to be under the impression that because a machine is expensive it is destined for gaming. No, that's not a valid assessment of my position. I have an expensive desktop, and I use it primarily for work. Even the Mac Pro performs poorly when compared to an equivalently priced PC. Even just for work related scenarios. Some good comparisons on YouTube :D
