I think you need a better profiler which traces the calls.  Just
listing the libs is only marginally more useful than top.  There's
nothing to indicate if the driver is spending time uploading textures
or vertices or just waiting for the GPU or doing something
stupid.&nbsp;Without that info there is little anyone can do to fix any problems. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/16/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">B. Bogart</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:ben@ekran.org">ben@ekran.org</a>
