I wonder if this happens only here.
After the update, as soon as I moved a window for the first time, I noticed a major slowdown. I hoped it was just an impression, but then I had to accept that it was not so: window moving and resizing *are* less smooth. The perception of the slowdown is strong.
For a more objective test, I used a proggie I've created in 2004 which performs various graphical operations: a particular test dropped from ~316 fps to ~260 fps.
I have a RADEON 9000 card, with the following monitor settings:
BOARDTYPE=Radeon
CMPLENGTH=6
(CHIPTYPE=ATIRadeon.chip)
(BORDERBLANK=Yes)
(BIGSPRITE=Yes)
SOFTSPRITE=No
IGNOREMASK=Yes
(DISPLAYCHAIN=Yes)
FAKENATIVEMODES=No
INTERRUPT=Yes
VSYNCMIN=60
VSYNCMAX=85
HSYNCMIN=31500
HSYNCMAX=64000
SETTINGSFILE=ENVARC:Sys/P96.prefs
(setting INTERRUPT=No makes things a little slower)
The update causes no other problem whatsoever (apart from some compatibility issue with Personal Paint which I still have to investigate further).
Any idea anybody?
