Is my computer just not fast? I ran the speed test and got 9 frames per second but rand the direct x speed test and got 189 frames per second!

if your computer was not fast they'd both be slow wouldn't they? duhhhhhhhhh

Wrong as can be.

mindstorms: It is a software renderer, all the render processing is done by your CPU, not the graphics card. It will be slow unless you have a very fast CPU.

And the software test will be much slower than the DX test. This is normal, as the DX test uses your graphics card.

Also, be sure to turn off debug.

well, if u turn off the debugger, you might get a speedup
