This one, for example: Uh huh, after closer examination I've noticed some improvements both in 0.8.1 -> 0.8.2 and 0.8.2 -> snapshot. No regressions actually besides OpenGL support. > I noticed that video rendering lags behind audio with 0.8.2 and devel. > It seems that video rendering with AGG is not fast enough, so I will > try to improve the performance by trimming some compilation > parameters. Was an issue from beyond 0.8.1 afair. Switching to OpenGL helped more or less. Anyway, both 0.8.2 update and gnash-devel are submitted (ports/123708 and ports/123744 respectively), so it's only days before miwi commits them. Enjoy ;) -- Dmitry A.
