Bob,
I agree that it'd be nice to have a "benchmark" Java 3D test. But
anyone that knows benchmarking would know that there are a lot of issues
and no one benchmark will cover all the possible factors (ie some video
cards handle textures better than others and a benchmark that doesn't
use textures would be meaningless for reporting video card performance
of handling textures). It sounds a lot simpler than it is.
I believe at least one person that is active on this list has a
"benchmark" but I think it's rather old.
This is something I'd like to do but it's way down on the "to do" list
and I'm not sure if I'd ever get around to writing it. I'll give it
some more thought.
