Thanks a lot for the notes and good to know that! I did try the direct renderMode on my retina Macbook and feel the performance improvement!
And I was wondering if there are some good performance test tools to make this improvement more qualified? because what I do now is just resizing the app window to see if it renders the diplay object faster and smoother. Again, thanks a lot for the NEWS!
