Bah, I just gave you the command in the wrong order. `eselect opengl set nvidia` was the right one. Need to tell it which module, before the action to use from that module. I see you figured that out below. > I assume this ain't good right. O_O OK, I logged out, stopped the GUI, > rmmoded nvidia and reemerged all the nvidia stuff. Reloaded nvidia and > ran the command.

I dunno what it is. This could be a problem, particularly if you have preemption off or don't set PORTAGE_NICENESS. If you're running that in a screen session, try a ^Z (ctrl-z) to suspend it for a bit and see whether that helps, then `fg` to foreground it again. > Any clue? Am I doing something wrong?

You could try running oprofile to see where all the time is being spent, then rebuild that package with debugging support (Add -g to CFLAGS, remove -fomit-frame-pointer) to get info on where in that program the time is spent. To get oprofile going, build the kernel module (it's included in the main kernel, just enable it -- CONFIG_PROFILING in Instrumentation), run `make vmlinux` in /usr/src/linux, emerge oprofile, then run this little script like this: ./oprof someapp It will start profiling, and stop when you quit that app. Make sure you run it long enough so that the app's startup stuff isn't the primary thing you profile; you want to profile the runtime slowdowns. Thanks, Donnie
