FWIW and a bit late response, OpenGL (from your repo pcjc2.git and branch before_pours_local for which "git describe" gives: pcb-20070912-base-256-g0c9414f ): 2.1 redraws per second :( pcb-20081128: 5.7 redraws per second ;) Just what I thought, speed issues on ancient HW (the ratio says more than the values themselves). To give an idea of this sluggishness: the mouse pointer on screen lags about 1 second behind the actual movement of the mouse.
