Any Suggestions?
Speed:
In recent graphics work I've done, I've noticed that FPC is fantastic
at created cross-platform applications. But the generated binaries
are NOT fast at all - no matter how many compiler parameters and
artificial speed optimisations we tried to implement. Sloppy Java
code ended up 3x faster than the best I could get out of FPC
generated binaries.
I'm not saying this is your performance problem (especially comparing
a 3Ghs PC vs a 233Mhz PC) - there certainly seems to be another
problem contributing to your speed issue.
Graphics:
I highly recommend you take a look as AggPas. It is a 100% high
quality sub-pixel rendering engine - hand ported from the original
C++ code. The latest and most up to date AggPas (there are a few
forks from the original) can be found in the fpGUI code repository.
The AggPas code is totally independent of the rest of fpGUI, so
you can write per console applications that uses AggPas and render
to any image format, byte array etc.
For examples of what AggPas can do, take a look at this following
websites:
Agg (Anti-Grain Geomerty):

AggPas (Pascal port):
