Hey everyone, I'm new to processing, and my sketches have been running very slowly. I haven't made a text output of the fps, but I'm guessing its < 10fps. I've got an 8800 gts and 3ghz or so processor (let me know if you need other specs), and I just updated my graphics drivers.

Here's some sample code for me that just drags:

1. import processing.opengl.*;
   
                       int stage = 0;
                           float x,y,z;
   void setup() {
                 size(800, 800, OPENGL); 
                 noStroke();   
                            
                             x=0;
                             y=0;
                             z=0;
          
       }
   
       void draw() {
          
           //clear
           resetMatrix();
           background(0); 
          
           //camera
           perspective (PI * 0.333f, 1.0f, 0.01f, 1000.0f);
           camera (25, 25, 25,
                   0, 0, 0,
                   0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);     
          
                
   
           sphereDetail(10);
           translate(x, y , z);
           sphere(4);
          
           if(stage == 0)
           {
               x+=0.5f;
              
           }
           else if(stage ==1)
           {
               x-=0.5f;
              
           }
           if(x > 10 && stage == 0)
           {
               stage = 1;
           }
           else if(x < -10 && stage == 1)
           {
               stage = 0;
           }
       }
   

I tried getting as little code as possible to try to eliminate any bottle necks, but it still exists in this code for me. Changing to P3D will speed things up back to normal, but there are visual artifacts with that for my actual sketches. Occasionally, the sketches will run in full speed when I use the OPENGL flag, but usually not.\

Anyways, I would appreciate any advice on how to fix this. I'm trying to do some homework, and it's annoying trying to design an animation at 2fps.

Thanks :)
