SFML is 19.9x as fast as SDL =========================== It means that SDL 1.2 (as a s/w renderer by default) don't use OpenGL h/w accelaration in these tests (and these 20 time is surprisingly low difference) - You should draw in OpenGL/DirectX by Yourself (SDL provides low level API for that). SFML tries to use OpenGL/DirectX internally whenever possible. So We just don't uderstand how to use the low-level SDL - really only OS abstraction not everything optimized out-of box, as its developer state. But MSEgui can work with OpenGL (DirectX ? In win-32, It usual has far way better drivers tah OpenGL ones). So the things look like SFML can do the work which MSEgui can do as well that's SFML is just over featured (too high layer) for use by MSEgui. Other side, SFML (as a higher abstraction layer ) can detect & switch between OpenGL & DirectX, AFAIK.
"http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/23944/"; says : An important detail is that SDL 1.2 doesn't normally *use* OpenGL, it only wraps WGL/GLX/CGL so that you don't have to worry about the details of setting up an OpenGL window on various platforms. "http://www.archivum.info/[email protected]/2008-07/00387/Re-(SDL)-2-d-Accelerated-Drawing--What-are-the-options-when-using-SDL.html" says : So whether it's software-based or not, if you're only using SDL primitives, Microsoft OpenGL has nothing to do with it (unless you tweaked some stuff that had big warnings around it saying "do not use, broken", in which case, well, it's normal if it's broken).
