Hi, i didn't find any other posts on similair issues and i would actually have been surprised if i had. because i think there's really something wrong:
today i opened a fairly simple patch: "Constructivism" by Futurismo Zugakousaka. (a favorit) http://ibeatsonline.com/index.php%3Fref=project-quartz-jp-quicktime-26_Constructivism.html it had been quite a while since i last worked with QC, and it was the first time to work with QC on my new 13" macbook pro (latest model). having high expectations, it was a 'bit dissappointing' to see this patch would not even run at 15 fps (!!!) while the cpu is at max, as if all hardware- rendering is disabled (which it is not) i often work in a similair graphical flat/2d style myself, also using text, letters/typography alot and most of the time this is a joke for video hardware to render. so i'm extra curious why this performs so bad. it's is not a high-end machine, but it's new and also it's not a complex patch i tested it on my old '06 mini (1.66Ghz-coreduo, intel-GMA950) and no surprise: steady 60fps no problem and the CPU picking its' nose.. i think that either there's something really wrong with my macbook, or maybe i'm just not informed on modern hardware, and should learn about howto build patches conform todays standards.. or is it yet something else? also, i have -some- exprience with OpenGL and quite alot with Quartz, so i thought i might be able to use some of that knowledge to learn more about the issue. i didn't think QuartzDebug would make miuch sense here so i looked at "OpenGL Profiler" and "OpenGL Driver Monitor" . both seem to generate a huge load of interesting data, but i haven't really got an idea (yet..) of howto interpret this data in a sensible way. before i dive into that, does this approach make any sense? thanks arri _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
