Hey Andy,

I know for a fact that FlightGear uses every available processor
cycle.  I also know that if I increase the priority of FlightGear, it
takes cycles away from other processes.  In my application, I need
FlightGear to run at 640x480 res at 30 Hz (the output is a TV), but
I've seen FlightGear run well at 1400x1050 and 60 Hz.  Therefore, I
*know* FlightGear is using much more CPU cycles than it needs, and I
know that if there's a way to free up these extra cycles, I can run
FlightGear at a higher priority without interrupting other processes.

Does this not seem like a rational train of thought?  I admit, I'm new
to this type of performance optimization.  What do *you* think the
problem is?

Drew
