Less that a second for my Mini, but it is mini :) About 4 seaconds for
my black tank car, which has 284 (?) parts. About 8 seconds to draw my
GP30. The dat for the GP30 has 817 lines (not all of them are parts).
Redraw the model every time... that would mean a eight second wait for
every move of the brick, right? I think that would be a bad idea. The
intro level Macs aren't that much faster than mine.
How bad a hit is system memory? Do the new fancy Macs have the smae
trail line problem?
My feeling is... as long as you are having fun tracking down bugs,
track away, but if it it is driving you crazy, and you are only fixing
it for us old timers (though there are always more Mac old timers than
there are in other OS's) a big "don't do this, but this works fine"
section in the read me would be more than adequate.
