Hmm, I didn't get your original mail, so I assume it wasn't sent to the
list. Using PyOpenGL along with some hw-accel I manage to crank out quite
nice fps values without any optimization at all, except a display list.
The scene is 100x100x2 textured triangles, along with a few hundred other
textured quads. No C code at all.
