Jan,
CCP4mg uses the same MTZ->map code as COOT - one thing that will make a difference in time is the resolution of the map. Overwise I'm not sure that ther is much that you can do - on the other hand the developers are busy converting CCP4mg to use Qt rather than Tcl/Tk for the GUI and this has significantly improved performance. We hope to have a trial version of the program out soon (without all the functionality) and a new release in autumn.

Hi all,
... tried on the ccp4mg bb before ...
ccp4mg is such a nice program, yet it is so slow in my hands. An average sized map calculated from a mtz file takes about 30s to display, while coot displays both 2FoFc and FoFc maps in about 5s.

Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
I use:
- ccp4mg-1.1.1-Linux-Fedora-Core
- coot-Linux-i386-fedora-6
- python2.4
- Fedora Core release 6

Thanks a lot for any hints.
Jan
