This is more on Nico's problem than Bob's problem ... I just did a very unscientific test ... On my linux box using current trunk r5050 using the Jmol application using caffeine.xyz using a window size of about 400x400 using 'spin on' using 'top' to measure CPU consumption CPU percentage seemed to be about 37% I rolled the zbuffer back from 'int' to 'short' The CPU percentage seemed to be about 35% I am satisfied that the switch short->int did not introduce a noticable performance problem ... certainly nothing that would account for a 3 fold CPU consumption increase. I am going to check in the code and then immediately revert it ... so that we will have the 'diff' to reapply it again in the future if we need to. Nico, if you want to try this on Windows you can ... the Windows video system is generally faster ... I suppose it is possible that there could be some difference, but I don't think so. Nico, we should see if we can reproduce this problem in the Jmol application ... comparing 10.00.xx with 10.2.0 and the current trunk.
