I don't know what you call decent, but my test were always faster on FreeBSD than on Windows. Didn't compare to Linux yet.
I meant that the nvidia opengl accelerated drivers on freebsd are not fully operational yet -- they do not work with 5.0 (last I heard) and I experienced crashes with them under 4.7... There's also a noticeable slowdown when running in full screen mode (at least more noticeable than in Linux)... FreeBSD without hardware acceleration (i.e. non-nvidia graphics) is fine speed-wise when running simple opengl. In fact the little code I sent with my original email was developed mostly on my FBSD laptop. Now, are there any more sample opengl programs people have written, besides the redbook examples and the tutorials (windows-only and last updated in 2001) in Brazil? I want to learn how to manage large datasets in Haskell elegantly :) andrey
