It's not a question of global/local weather. Because local weather relies on 3d clouds, it appears to be much slower than global weather with 3d clouds disabled. My conclusion is, that our current 3d cloud implementation does not scale very well with screen size. > > If the problem gets worse when a single cloud is in view, it could be down > to texture resolution - a single cloudlet texture used by Stuart is > probably 120x120 whereas some of my large Cu cloud lets are ~1024x512 - > that should give you a different performance footprint...

I hope I have some more time for discussing this in a just a few weeks. Thanks, Torsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
