Re: [Flightgear-devel] Got FlightGear to compile on Mac OS X

 The culprit is likely PLIB. There is a fairly well-known and officially 
 unresolved inefficiency in the rendering of small vertex arrays that is 
 particularly painful on Mac OS X. You can view the original thread here

The current CVS version of ssgVtxTable (and specifically the drawGeometry
method) differs pretty significantly from what is discussed in the
message above.  Has anyone tracked changes over time and could they
submit a diff against a more recent version?

Thank you for the reference.  I was aware of this and thought I had
checked against the right patches, but apparently not.  I will report
results later.  Thanks again.

One issue that I am dealing with is that the frame rate is poor, even
though precompiled versions I have had in the past had good (~30 fps)
rates.  It could turn out that Apple's OpenGL and GLUT are the culprit,
which would give momentum to requiring those libraries to be built or
installed from fink.  I don't know yet.
