- QuickTime is not slow at all. It DOES depend on how you render it. If I
- rendered it full screen with the new version (which comes with 7.1) it
- would work quite well. Right now, taking a QT movie with a logo rotating
- mapped with a reflective chrome, it runs pretty well at larger sizes.
-
- What I want to see is full speed full-time.
