Lee,
I ran this on my machine and I get the same results for both
runItSlow set to true or false (i.e ~83fps).
This is on WinNT 4.0, ATI Rage Pro 8MB, 400Mhz PII, JDK 1.3,
Java3D 1.2 FCS.
I tried with JDK 1.2.2 and get the same results.
Are you using WinNT ? If so what video driver version, video depth
etc are you using ?
