Well, according to patchman, who was too dignified to answer, ^_^ The Patch is quite faster than OpenTTD, which makes sense, since it doesn't have to translate the C into assembly since....it...already is assembly.

Right now I'd say: TTD+TTDpatch takes more CPU usage and memory. Because TTDpatch lets you build more vehicles. This is only noticleable if you actually play with more vehicles.

In the future: Certainly OpenTTD. Because OpenTTD will have more vehicles soon too (with the next release) and many more additional features. It's probably only goinf to be a slight difference though. If your computer can handle TTD it most likely can handle OpenTTD and TTDpatch as well.

Yeah, the TTD + The Patch will defnitely be faster, especially because TTD was created in assembly in the first place, I think. OpenTTD might work on low-end pentiums, but I honestly don't know what the minimum is. If you want to use a pre-Pentium computer, you'll defnitely want TTD + The Patch instead.

If memory is the problem, remember that TTDPatch has a "low memory" option (see the manual). But remember that OpenTTD started life as an unpatched TTD, so it doesn't have to do all the other things that TTDPatch adds.

Has anyone actually tested which one is faster?

TTD+ttdpatch is written in a 16-bit style, which is not as fast as 32-bit styled code on modern pentiums. Also I imagine that a C compiler produces better scheduled code than TTD's asm code.

I'd be interested to see a comparison between the two. When I test myself, it feels like OpenTTD creates a new game faster than TTD, but maybe that's just me.

yes it does.

but for me that's because of the music (ttd's midi loading thing freezes system for about 4 seconds.)
