Ok, so the refix lowers the busspeed, didn�t know that.

It�s sent (better late than never eh? :))

Well I think it depends a bit on the program. When you don�t move in
Quake/enforce etc the engine doesn�t have to recalc the rotations, maybe it
does anyway so it doesn�t get big fps shiftings. But the Skyfly demo always
moves so it has to recalc the rotations even when you don�t move the mouse.
But it is probably as you say the context switching, but 8-10 fps sounds a
lot.

Don�t think it�s my dodgy keyboard interface then �cos I have also one from
Elbox :)

Haha, Ok, then I can write about anything that runs on my WB then? :)
