Greetings All..
I've got a PIII-850 w/512 MB RAM and a Rage128 Video Card, running RH 7.2 at 1024x768.
Should be more than enough horsepower for ShowEQ.
With v3, I could run the map at 15-20 fps no problem (I usually ran it at about 10 since anything above that was a waste anyway IMHO).
Upon installing v4, and using the provided QT RPM's, I've noticed a huge drop in performance. In fact, in some zones, if I set my FPS *above* 3 or 4, seq will suddenly eat all cpu cycles and I'll find that it preempts everything else (to the point that clicking to lower the fps by one can take 25-30 seconds!)
Now, the only real stock changes I've made from the default config was to disable the second map (nowhere to put it realy at 1024x768) and change the map optomization from "normal" to "speed", as well as enabling map NPC names.
So. it begs the question - is SEQ 4 really that much more of a resource hog that I can only hope for 4fps, or is there an issue with something else?
I'm more than prepared to run any benchmarks or configuration changes to try and correct the issue.
