Performance of builds on Win Vista and Linux

[Anup Jayapal Rao]

Hi,

I am a newbie trying my luck at Bullet Physics Engine.

I tried build 2.73 on Linux and found the demos to be very slow at almost 2 to 3 frames per second. I then tried build 2.71 and build 2.69 both yielding similar results. On the same machine, I tried build 2.73 on Windows Vista and it seemed a bit faster at about 5 frames per second. But build 2.69 worked quite well and I was able to run the demos quite smoothly.

Can anyone tell me how to fix the slower linux builds on my machine?
[ and why the same build 2.69 is faster on windows and slower on linux? ]

PS: I am using the lastest accelerated drivers from ATi on Linux and get very good performance from games such as Neverball and likewise.

Regards,
Anup
