Thanks Robert! These are good news.
Since you are testing on a Droid. Can you confirm a 24 bit depth buffer is best for the DROID under all circumstances or is this quote nonsens: """ It seems that DEPTH_SIZE of 24 is optimum on the Droid. I was kind thrown back a bit when I picked an EGLConfig with DEPTH_SIZE of 0 or another value (16, etc.) and rendering of a simple cube was at 40FPS. With an EGLConfig that has a DEPTH_SIZE of 24 the cube was rendering at 60FPS. """ It would be good news if a 0 bit depth buffer is not slower than a 24 bit depth buffer on the Droid... ... and I can simply forget all the hassle with the Droid! Besides this: I have started doing my own benchmarking. The biggest issue I have is: If I touch the screen (on the Nexus one) frame rate goes down from 60 FPS to ca. 43 FPS. The problem is: I have to use the touch screen as an input device! So I can completly forget smooth games running with constant 60FPS! Well, the good news is: Because I can never reach 60FPS on an Android OS as long as the user touches the screen, I can use more expensive computations for the graphics. Users will never now what they miss, basically all games using the touch sreen will run below 45 FPS. It's sad, anyway.
