Edit: Running the .exe straight out of the .rar gave me 200 fps, compiling with no modifications gave me 240 fps Question
Interesting: I tried the same using an older delphiX version. (ie no undelphix) I recompiled the given source with D7 and got a massive increase as well. from 229 fps to ~310 fps?! How odd. Could this be a difference in Delphi version?
