OK, I was able to test under Mandriva Live One 2009 running KDE 4.04, and the performance was a little better, but still *very* slow.
For example, in Stykz you can click on a "node" (or handle) to one of the segments of a stick figure to pivot it around the point on the other side of the segment. If I mouseDown on the node, and then drag upwards, Windows and OS X follow immediately. Under Ubuntu 8.04 it took a good 5 seconds before the line segment started moving; Mandriva took about 3 seconds. But that is still way too slow for any user to use, and other than the redrawing of the line, everything else was done in code with no additional display elements or anything else going on. I'm going to try and get a higher end machine to test on and see how much the hardward mitigates the problem, and I'll report back. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
