Re[2]: [Gnash-dev] gnash run slowly on arm w ith agg-renderer

[Udo Giacomozzi]

Changing everything to fixed point is a hard job. We use floating point all 
over the place in Gnash. The rendering engine is just one part of it. 

The AGG library is one of the fastest software rendering libs available. Most 
of the actual rendering is done using fixed point. 

I'm sorry but I don't see a realistic way to optimize Gnash for your CPU.

You have two options:

- use OpenGL rendering (you need appropriate hardware for that and I     don't 
know if matrix transformations are hardware accelerated, but I   think so)

- optimize your movie so that it can be rendered faster (less
  gradients, less vertices, less transparency).

I assume you are using the framebuffer GUI. In case you are using the GTK GUI 
make sure you have the MIT-SHM extension enabled and that Gnash renders in your 
graphics card native color resolution!
