I went ahead and tried it and I've got getimage() to about 18x faster on my system. I changed how it works a little, the original was checking every single pixel if it was in the viewport or not, instead of doing that, I just fixed the nested loop to only operate within the range included in the viewport. I also added a section to only include items that are actually on the screen as well. I've updated my github repository, the changes I've made are on the 'zaaphod_custom' branch. Here's a link https://github.com/Zaaphod/ptcpas/blob/Zaaphod_Custom/ptcgraph/ptcgraph.pp I'm wondering if I should take the default procedures out of graph.inc and replace them with just an error and halt as many of the other procedures have done. I thought I would include the i386-win32 and x86_64-win64 compiled units of ptcpas with the accelerated versions of putimage() and getimage() in my repository if anyone wants to give them a try. They are in a 'units' directory on the 'compiled' branch Here's the link: https://github.com/Zaaphod/ptcpas/commit/b96f7208f079d4e2fe208ba5ac464f8f6808d79b https://github.com/Zaaphod/ptcpas/tree/Compiled James _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
