[tuxracer-devel] Performance issue

[Dave N. <dav...@pa...>]

Hi all,

I have had major performance issues with tuxracer since I've installed
it, I'm afraid - I was hoping someone could help me out with it.

My system's pretty good - 1.2GHz AMD Athlon, nVidia GeForce2, XFree
4.0.3, and all the GL demos fly along here. So I don't think it's a 3d
rendering issue... and yet I get what seems to be about 1 frame a
second. I've turned on tuxracer framecounting and it says I'm getting
between 80 and 100 frames a second, but I'm not seeing it. I've done
lots of stuff to try to speed it up - turned off sound, lowered
resolution, changed interpolation routines from Runge Kutta to Newtonian
(or whatever the less intensive one is), and half a dozen other things.

I have profiled, and have a gmon.out here - but I'm not sure if that's
of use to anyone else. It's 170K or so, but if it helps I'll send it
along. In terms of software, I use gtk+/glib 1.2.10, gnome 1.2.11.

Is this a FAQ? 

Thanks for your help,
Dave.
