Greetings, fellow programmers.

Recently I?¢_Tve started learning Delphi 8 and .NET framework. I have downloaded DirectX SDK for managed code with examples and also found samples converted into Delphi. I managed to compile and run most of them, but I?¢_Tve noticed that DEVICE.PRESENT method decreases FPS down to around 30 even on the simplest program. When I take the line out, of course there is no buffer flip and nothing is displayed, but FPS jumps up to around 7000. My question is, has anybody encountered anything like this? And if so, what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
Alex

p.s. Clootie, how are you doing, man? It?¢_Ts been a while.
