I was hoping to get something approaching free rotation like I get with rasmol. What kind of performance should I expect? I've tried it on a G4 DP/800 and a 17" flat panel iMac.
Are you using OS 10.2.3? You won't derive the benefits of the acceleration unless you have 10.2.3. Beyond that, I am at a loss. On my G4 iMac and even on my G3 ibook, x-windows based pymol has gone from virtually unusable to almost as good as the native version (which, by the way, can be downloaded here:It turns out that my graphical slowdown was being caused by XBack, my desktop movie player. This caused too much strain on my graphics card. Rotating surface structures is still pretty slow, but line or cartoon structures rotate reasonably well with either the MacOS X native or X-windows versions.

I've cc-ed this to the pymol users list in case others have more suggestions.\
Thanks,
