Re: [pygame] Slow performance in fullscreen mode

There's soooo many variables with all the different video cards out

Have you tried that event culling idea mentioned in the other email Brian?

I found that fullscreen worked best when using the same resolution as the
screen is currently operating at but this was using opengl so I don't know
if it
