- show me a rotating cube and I'll tell you if it's 50fps
- or 25fps. when I start my demo which rotates/zooms a
- picture, I immedeately notice if its not 50fps but only
- 25fps (the case if too little fastmem was available and
- chipmem was used instead).
-
- computerfreaks seem to have more sensitive fps-detectors :)

- IMAX: mega resolution, mega jerk. Only good for static pictures.
