FastText library slow

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/FastText library slow

I have an i7 cpu with 460 GTX and the demos run quite slow - 20 to 30 fps.

I am using latest Blitz3D. Is it because the demo is compiled with an older version?

The FastText_SpeedTest_BlitzText_VS_FastText.bb has these results:

Blitz3D text: 19ms

FastText text: 28ms


Blitz3D version is faster :P

Yes, you right. It's very old problem which is connected with Windows Vista and Windows 7 (they strange emulate DirectX7, often results are unpredictable). I recommend to use FastText library if the Unicode is really very necessary for you. In other cases it is better to use drawing of the text from FastImage library.
