Hi Evan,
>From what I remember reading in the Java 3D docs, the engine knows to use
native threads only on Solaris ( don't remember if it was about Sun or
Sun/Intel machines ). Eventually you can try the free Solaris program from Sun
( pay only for media and delivery ) and see wat's happening. Once again, not
very sure about it. I think it's somewhere on the collateral page, a FAQ or
something, that stated the thing about native threads.
