[Bf-committers] scons OSX game engine cvs built well, question

[Michael Velikanje]

I posted that. On my system I get approx. a 20% increase in render 
speed and 10% in the game engine. If that's not working for you try 
opening gcc man pages and try some of the different optimization 
options on your system. Thats how I found the combination that speeded 
things up on my system, that and a lot of compiling and testing, if you 
find a combination that works for you please post it so others may try 
it.
Just because I'm curious what is the result of running 'machine' on 
your system, how much ram, cpu mhz?? I've been trying the demo-files on 
my system and have found that everything mostly work the same as they 
did on 2.25,  with reasonable speed, (however, reasonable is 
subjective)
