Please re-read what I wrote. I'm not taking sides for or against Rembrandt or ALS - I want them to converge. They are both excellent contributions to FG, and should not be considered to be alternatives or rivals. Did I say that ALS causes jitter or frame rates less than 40? My list appertains to all of FG/SG. You have jumped to conclusions. And before jumping check your facts: AFAIK Rembrandt does not depart from the default rendering scheme. If you think it does tell me where. It remains experimental/WIP which is why the user cannot click to access it. Hey, who has Thorsten upset - the Mafia? You'll be telling me that there's a horse's head in his bed next. I certainly don't side with those calling anyone else racist or trying to drive anyone away - I am unaware of that and I don't care to be associated with it.
