   opengl source way too slow 0-10 fps.
  I was very dissapointed with all the opengl samples I downloaded on Neon Helium.  They were all very very slow! I am hoping that I can get gaming speed with directx.  But I''d like to see an example program that has the fps drawing something semi-complex.If anyone knows of how to create fast opengl code, let me know, please.  If not, an example of the speed of dx.  I prefer opengl though. 
  they run extremely fast for me. 600fps and such. turn off vsync    ;  oh and what are the specs on ure comp?   also go update your video drivers.

Direct3D and OpenGL have slight speed differences (which one is faster in which circumstances is more like a religious war though), depending on card, driver and how you use it, but nothing like "0-10 fps" vs "game speed" (whatever you call that).
