I would think that you might want to try reducing your texturesize. That
would probably speed things up quite a bit.
If you only use 3ddesk to change desktops, then you shouldn't have any
problems with the other desktops not being up to date. 3ddesk only
updates it's snapshots of your different desktops as you zoom out, so if
you use another pager, then things will get messed up/out of sync. I
think Brad is working on a way to have 3ddeskd (the deamon portion)
periodically update the snapshots in the background, but I've gotten the
impression that this is pretty darn non-trivial, and I would guess that
it could be a huge pain if different window managers handle things
differently.
I was having some speed issues recently after an "upgrade" to my
machine. I just swapped out my video card like 10 minutes ago, and it
was like night and day. Life is good now. I only run my resolution at a
measly 1280x1024 with 8 desktops, but I'm getting something like 100fps
I'd guess at least. I've run it higher on different systems and not had
a problem.... depending on the video card.
