Hi

One other question. I like to have the 3D Globe in view. I notice that as I make it smaller, it rotates more smoothly. If it is put to \"max screen size\", then I get a refreshed globe position only every second or so.
If I reduce the globe so that it measures about 30mm diameter on my screen (1280 resolution), it almost rotates smoothly.

Why is this? Where\'s the hog? CPU or graphics card?
Does running the graphics slow down the crunching time of the model?

In the preferences section, you can set a gfx cpu fraction. What does this mean. Should it be high or low? What numbers do I put in? Is it %? So when set to 20%, does that mean that the gfx card will use 20% of the CPU power? I\'m a bit confused here!!!!

Neil.

The CPU is the bottleneck. This means of course, that if the graphics are displayed the model will be slowed down significantly, so most of use don\'t run it as a screensaver.
