Slow Demos

[KammylandSoftware]

Hello,

I just downloaded Bullet Physics for the first time. I'm a bit new to 3D game development.
I ran some of the demos that come with the Bullets download. However, the demos seem to run rather slow.
I'm running Mac OS X on a Mac Book Pro - Intel Core Duo 2.33Ghz - 2GB Ram. The only other media application running at the time was a song on iTunes, but that should not slow things down anymore than a suitcase slowing down a 12 cylinder truck.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

You are likely building a debug/unoptimized build, which is really slow.

Is it a 'release'/optimize build that is slow?
Thanks,
Erwin
