[Mirra] Mirra runs veeeeeeeery slowly

[dropmeaword@yahoo.com]

Hello all,

After some initial struggle installing Mirra and getting it to work properly I fiddled around a little with the examples, to get familiar with it. But they run very slowly on my system. I run Python 2.4.1, pyOpengl 3.0.0a6, pygame 1.7.1, ctypes, wxPython 2.8.3.0-unicode. Psyco is installed. The version of Mirra that I run 0.3.1 uses wxPython for window management. I have increased the framerate of the samples from 15 to 24fps but it doesn't affect performance, as the current framerate doesn't even reach 10fps.

I can run pygame sample programs at more than 400fps, so it's obviously not a problem of the machine not performing well. I don't really know how to profile python programs, so I don't know where to begin to find out what the problem might be. Do you know any method of profiling python programs so I can see where the stalling occurs? or have any clue about where the bottleneck might be?

Any ideas are welcome. TIA.

Cheers,
Luis.
