Out of curiosity, is Doggiebox a Carbon or Cocoa app? Does it use QuickDraw or Quartz 2D to draw to the screen?
It's a fully-Cocoa app, using Cocoa and CoreGraphics drawing routines. You're hankering for the Q2D Extreme speedup that Ars benchmarked, aren't you. ;) I should mention that even in the current builds, there is still a lot of room for optimization in view drawing methods, particularly to use new API that were introduced in 10.3. If anyone is using DB on a particularly slow machine and can document particular sluggishness, feel free to let me know so I can prioritize some optimization. (I used to test on a 500 Mhz iBook but I gave that one away to my brother last Christmas... my slowest machine now is my dual 867 G4, which I do most of my work on, which still happens to feel faster than my brand-new 1.5 GHz Powerbook.) -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
