Hello out there,

When I upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 to 10.5.2, the frame rate of my OpenGL 
app dropped in half.  This is an FB question but may also apply to 
FBtoC.  I don't have 10.4 access on the same machine.

When I compile the SimpleBlocks Demo and just launch it, I get 140+ fps 
under 10.5.2 but 200+ fps under 10.3.9.  (I bypassed the 60 Hz limiter). 
  I am using the same setup of Millions of Colors and 1280 x 800.  I 
applied the 10.5.2 'Graphics Update' but no improvement.

Any ideas for performance improvements under 10.5?


Thanks,
