The AutoCAD animation tests simply measure the time it takes each of three AutoCAD
animations to complete. The video tests shown here measure the frame rate playback and completion time of two versions of the same Video for Windows file. One uses Cinepak compression and is recorded at a data rate of 600 KBps. The second uses Indeo compression and is recorded at 475 KBps. Note that all the drives, even the Dell's original double-speed Matsushita, ran 150-KBps and 300-KBps files at their full rate.

is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
