: Yup.  S-A is time based, so as soon as you enter a project with a
: Wonderland
: it starts incrementing its clock.  And until I work my way around
: to putting
: in the hooks to notify the renderer whether or not anything has changed in
: the visual field it assumes it needs to render every frame.
:
: For the curious, you can execute/print:
:
: scheduler getFPS

Check that out: scheduler getFPS results 5.88235294117395

: to find out what frame rate you're currently getting.
:
: You can also execute/print:
:
: scheduler getTime

And scheduler getTime results 26189.02800000003

Ok, ok.. I've hurd you.. I need a new Video card. ;;P

: If for some reason you can't live with Squeak-Alice using as much of your
: CPU has it can get, look at WonderlandCameraMorph->stepping->stepTime and
: change the value to something larger than 1.  However, this will put a
: ceiling on your frame rate, and the surgeon general has determined that
: working with interactive 3D graphics at a frame rate below 10 fps is
: incredibly aggravating and prone to shorten your life out of sheer
: frustration.

I've tried WonderlandCameraMorph->stepping->stepTime at 500. It goes way
better. And the animation is _not that bad_. Though I doubt others are as
patient as I am. Truely, my P133 is outdated for such ::)

: Besides, your CPU has been needing a good workout, hasn't it?  =)
