Speed Test

Has anyone done speed tests between SDL and strict Windows/DirectX development? I’m loving SDL, but curious if the quick coding benefits breaks down if you are trying to code retail notch games. Any experience with SDL on large scales?

Well, since nobody else answered…
I’ve used SDL with many large scale projects, and if you look through the
games section of the SDL website you’ll see many commercial games and ports
of commercial games. (Actually, I need to add some more in a bit)
