You are.. quick!;-)

Thanks for your input, yet again. I get roughly the same CPU usage on your sample scripts; Admittably my pTk test script had a somewhat complex callback.

I guess I'll just be very careful about what I do in motion callbacks. (zinc-demo scripts show this to some extent on my system; clipping=25%, MagicLens=90%, testGraphics=40-50%, curve_bezier=25% etc). Notable exception is window-contours, I have yet to figure out why.

Also that fix for centering the model( discussed previously ) is doing a complex calculation during drags. Try without the transform and see if it reduces cpu.

Actually I was referring to simple test scripts with just the translate() and no transform() (except the POE+Zinc 90% which was the application you know). The transform() by the way is very simple extrapolation, considering it's written in C it should be lightning fast. I'll test it though, trivial to write in assembler if it turns out to be a problem area (having never tested Inline::ASM, - how does that perform?)..

I have concluded to remove POE for the next rewrite, as it adds overhead and confusion. I plan on learning about bless() and isolating my code properly in modules instead of poe states, but I have some reading and experiments to do ;-)

Even though the hollywood studios have rack power, a modern GPU should chew these effects easily.. But I guess i'll write it off on the account of perl flexibility;(

btw, I compiled 5.10 from source, no noticable difference.
