Hey, I'm running a G400, which I hardly consider ancient :)

Yes - I'm hitting slowdowns, and I'd like to figure out if it's because I'm 
either:
  1. doing too much Python
  2. overloading the G400 with draw commands.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to time things? Preferrably not 
profiler-based.

How are you taking the screenshots?

I'm also working on a terrain engine, though mine is for an arcade-style 
game, so I'm not sure we could usefully share code. It works from two bitmaps 
- a height map and double-resolution colour map. It needs a lot of work :)
