[osg-users] Rendering performance issues

[Adrian Egli OpenSceneGraph (3D)]

Hi all

i just tested osgviewer with a pagedLod scene, and i got some interesting
behaviour, may zou can retest it similar:  change the threading mode with
'm'. (i am working under windows vista)

under Singlethread, the cap become much smaller.
