    Re: Mac Brick CAD and the Imerial Star Destroyer —Travis Cobbs
   One thing I've forgotten to mention in my previous replies is that it's really unfair to compare the performance of an editor (MBC) with a viewer (LDView), even if both are running on the same machine. A viewer doesn't have to worry about adding, (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
   
        Re: Mac Brick CAD and the Imerial Star Destroyer —Don Heyse
     (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

     (...) Well, for what it's worth, here are my numbers on a P4 2.4GHz, ATI 9700 Pro 128MB: Load: 3437 ms Draw: 1907 ms It's worth noting that if I load the file a second time, the load portion drops to 313 ms, so the only way to be sure that disk (...)

         Re: Mac Brick CAD and the Imerial Star Destroyer —Don Heyse
     (...) Ah, that explains my mysteriously low load time. I did the measurement on the 2nd try. So, I'd say anything drawing in the fps range is certainly getting some benefit from the opengl acceleration. Don (21 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

   (...) Travis, Generally I have to agree with you: According to the Apple literature non-OpenGL aware graphics cars (such as the Rage128) gain significant benefit from vertex arrays but with OpenGL aware graphic cards (such as the 9000Pro ) this (...)

        Re: Mac Brick CAD and the Imerial Star Destroyer —Don Heyse
   (...) Maybe you're running into one of those weird oddities of the Apple opengl drivers. For example rendering to the GL_FRONT buffer really renders to a hidden back buffer. There are times where this setup causes you to use triple buffering, which (...) (21 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
