Here are some timing results for example 17 for various interactive devices.
softw...@raven> time ./x17c -dev xwin real 0m10.224s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.040s softw...@raven> time ./x17c -dev qtwidget real 0m11.521s user 0m1.084s sys 0m0.080s softw...@raven> time ./x17c -dev wxwidgets real 0m12.655s user 0m0.944s sys 0m0.160s softw...@raven> time ./x17c -dev xcairo real 1m19.804s user 0m1.376s sys 0m2.852s So xcairo is roughly 7x slower than the others which is really noticeable when running "make test_interactive" in either the build tree (with BUILD_TEST=ON) or the installed examples tree. Could one of those interested in the cairo device driver please put this interactive speed issue on their ToDo list? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
