Hi Kenneth,

I'm using the GLAnimCanvas with the GLEventListener paradigm (sorry -
should have mentioned that)

I've set the canvas to not receive repaint events, and not to limit fps
(i.e. go full speed).  Perhaps it might run better if I did limit fps?
I could try that when I get home (I'm at work at the mo ;-))

Also, I'll check out the example you mentioned - thanks for that.

Cheers,

Peter.
