Jmol's rendering appears to me to become very slow at high zoom, when there are many atoms outside the viewport. That is, spinning and zooming get slow and jerky. For example,
http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/User:Eric_Martz/Molecular_Playground/Tamiflu Click the "Play Animation" button. Near the end of the animation, the protein appears as green cartoon, at high zoom. Prior to the green cartoon appearing, the large spacefilled Tamiflu Drug spins smoothly (even tho antialiasdisplay is on). The moment the green cartoon appears, spinning becomes slow and jerky. As the molecule zooms down, when the entire protein and cartoon are within the viewport, spinning and zooming again become much faster and smoother. My guess is that at high zoom, Jmol is spending lots of time rendering structure that is outside the viewport and will not be shown. If this guess is correct, would it be feasible to code Jmol to skip rendering the out-of-viewport portions, to improve performance?
