[PyOpenGL-Users] Perl vs. Python OpenGL bindings benchmarks

[Aleksandar B. S. <asa...@gm...>]

There was a set of benchmark results posted recently, comparing Perl
OpenGL (POGL) bindings performance with performance of some other
OpenGL bindings; results of comparison between Perl and Python OpenGL
bindings could be found here:
  http://graphcomp.com/pogl.cgi?v=0111s3B2&r=s3m3
PyOpenGL is claimed to be largely inferior in performance, especially
regarding using vertex array functionality.  Python benchmark code is
somewhat improved in the meantime, and PyOpenGL version 3, instead of
version 2, is used to retest, but claimed low PyOpenGL performance is
still there.  I was able to compare PyOpenGL based benchmark results
with Perl SDL based OpenGL binding results, and PyOpenGL perforance is
superior on my machine (as expected, because after all PyOpenGL in
version 3 is really thin layer above OpenGL C code); however I'm
unable to compile POGL properly, and run POGL based benchmarks on my
machine.  I do expect however, because of above mentioned reason, that
PyOpenGL performance must be at least in range with POGL performance,
thus I'd suggest to anyone interested to try  to run both benchmarks
on its machine, and to send results to POGL team; of course, further
improvements in Python benchmark code would be welcome too.
