What’s your Quake framerate on the same machine?
I think that you’re tipping the scales a bit to make SDL look good

Quake’s framerate is upper-bounded, I think. It’s still pretty high.
I’d guess around 45 FPS at 640x480 with software rendering.
What is the ~command to display framerate on Quake 2?

Nope. You can run the demo yourself on the next version of SDL.
BTW, just to be fair, using DirectDraw directly will give you equal or
slightly better framerates… I’m just taking advantage of the drivers
in SDL.
BTW, I’m taking the lack of response on the events issue to mean that
people think it’s fine, and I’ll be implementing it tomorrow.
See ya!

Er, actually, it’s 16.8 FPS using software rendering, and 22.7 FPS using
PowerVR OpenGL at 640x480 resolution. That’s Quake2.
See ya!

Hmm… I get your PowerVR speed at 640x480 (x11 soft driver) on my
P200MMX, 64MB RAM and ET6000… Don’t let PowerVR see those results
Hmm… when is “stars” going to appear?
BTW, I took this off list, because it’s getting a bit off track. But,
maybe a “comparative analysis” of different drivers on different OSs give
different performance would be a nifty thing for your web site, to help
developers choose which OSs to support, and how much faster their app will
have to run to work properly with different OSs.
