Err ... I just wanted to say ... I apologize for my stupidity.   :-(
What happened: during my valgrind tests I had turned off all optimizations
in plib/simgear/fgfs, and forgot to turn it on again. I would never have
thought, that this can cause a framerate drop from 10 to 1! (Actually,
I still don't believe it. But there's no doubt.)

normally (10/s):  -g -Wall -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math \
                     -funroll-loops -mpentiumpro

dead slow (1/s):  -g -Wall -O0 -mpentiumpro


Thanks for the tips and sorry for the noise. But at least I (we?) learn
something from it: optimization does actually matter!

m.   ;-)



PS: Of course,I get better framerates up to 40/s (without clouds/panel) in
    some areas (above the sea ;-), but airports badly kill performance,
    just like the panel does. That's very sad, because I can never land
    with ILS. Need a better computer ...
