Since we seem to be talking about performance measurements, what do
you think about comparing the the current yardstick: l3lab? On my fairly
old 500Mhz PC with a TNT video card l3lab prints this for stats.
Timing:
Load: 1222 ms
Draw: 8442 ms
The load time seems pretty zippy compared to what we're hearing in this
thread. Is that because creating display lists in video memory is really
slow? The l3lab file loading source code is available. Maybe there's
an idea or two in there.
Travis, can you see if l3lab is any faster on your more modern hardware?
