I had a problem when using HW surface on windows. I dont know if it's
related. My game started out smooth but then gradually started to slow
down, I tracked it down to a surface rotate I did in my game, I
fixed it by deleting the current image before setting it to the new
rotated surface.


BTW. Does anyone know of any array changes between Numeric version 21
and 22. My gamemap loses it's first row when using 22.

Cheers.
