Hi!

Well, the Atom IS slow, no doubt, but it is usable as travel telescope
platform, and its battery life is what made me buy one.


I don't know either where to look. Which of the diagnostic numbers in your
performance plugin could indicate the problem?

Oh, wait - I usually have the azimuthal grid on. Switching it off, I have
15.5fps, not 10.5.

OK: satellites switched off, perspective mode and no coordinate grid.

No atmosphere, with ground: 22.5fps

Atmosphere, no ground: 18.8

With no ground, no atmosphere, I have 27.5fps, but that's only a
diagnostic figure, I want ground&atmosphere ;-)


To compare: 0.11.4, perspective mode, no satellites, no grids.
Atmosphere+ground: 20.4
Atmosphere, ground off: 21.3
Atmosphere off, ground on: 31.8
Both off: 33.9 (This is where the new version is at 27.5)

both off, azimuth gris on: 26.3
atmosphere+ground+grid: 16.7

These are of course always arbitrary-use examples, maybe fov, projections,
other plugins and other settings make a difference.

But it seems the grids are very costly!

Anyway, the netbook is not the most important platform, else I am rather
on the higher end...

HTH, G.
