[MINC-users] x86 system optimization

[John Sled]

Jon,

While as Jason pointed out the implementation of Display doesn't take
full advantage of modern graphics hardware, the performance of the
program should be quite respectable on the PC you describe,
particularly if you have a version that is linked against the GL
library specific to the graphic system on your linux distribution.
Unless by chance Rick's system closely matches your own, I think it
would be worthwhile to rebuild Display so that it links against
libGL.so and libGLU.so for your system.
