[gl4java-usergroup] interesting speed-up

[Visi <vis...@ev...>]

Hi,

I've made a little test program using GLAnimCanvas/GLEventListener which
just clears the canvas and draws a rectangle. The animate fps is set to
5000, and the actual fps is printed after every 50 frames.
I use jdk 1.4, gl4java 2.8.2.0 and NT4 (ATI RAGE 128 Pro II). When I
start the app it reports about 130-150 fps. Nothing strange so far...

Now if I start a Media Player (some video), the speed increases to
340-360 fps. Could anyone explain me this?

Thx,
	Gabor
