[gl4java-usergroup] Performance relative to C

[Dennis D. <dd...@ma...>]

Are there any performance numbers relative to C/C++ programs?

Just as a quick test, I modified the gears applet under Ron's demos to run 
as an application.

The machine is a Celeron 466, Voodoo 3000 card. I am not getting hardware 
rendering yet, still working on that, but anyway to frame rate in Java 
gears is only 25fps, whereas the equivalent C program rate is 80fps.

That seems like a pretty high penalty for a very thin binding to OpenGL 
native calls. Any comment or counter-evidence?
