Ok, I've finally compiled and tested nui. Honestly, I was quite disappointed.
Not by its look or features (they look very beautiful&promising), but by its
speed. Why is it SO slow? Of course, I run very old hardware, (celeron 415,
GeForce 2 MX400), but even it has absolutely no problem showing quite
advanced programs.
Ihave been testing nui on TNT2 class hardware until last year and it was
not showing any problem (of course it's not as fast as the latest high
end graphic card...). I confess I mainly work on Win32 and MacOS so
there may be something fishy with GLX or the way I render the widgets.
For example, Blender and its OpenGL GUI (www.blender.org)
run very smoothly and ultra-fast. Maybe you use some vertex&pixel programs
which are unsupported on GeForce2?
Not at all. Everything is using GL 1.1.
If it is so, is there a way to turn their use off, to get simpler but faster
gui? (nui test performs at about one frame per 5 or 10 seconds).
This is really slow. Can you investigate? Run a profiler? Can you try to
close nui windows untils you get a correct frame rate and tell me which
one is causing the most problems (I think the SVG tiger might be the one
eating all the CPU...)? It can also be a problem of antialiasing that is
not supported in hardware on your card. If this is the case then I can
add a switch that prevents the use of antialiasing.
Thanks in advance,
