Good. It turns out that clearing the memory buffer to the background color and drawing the memory buffer image are relatively expensive operations. And those things have to be done independent of the size of the molecule. For this reason, the performance curve is relatively flat. And works well with large molecules. > I still have a remark about the bound rendering: it looks like a "screw" > from some angles. I am not very happy with how the bonds are being rendered. I have put a lot of work into a better scheme, but I am not happy with it either ... so it is turned off for now. I believe that I will be able to come up with something better, but I'm not working on it for now. Have a good time on your vacation.
