Hi,


from the SkyOS site:

"Huge SkyGI performance increase. As you may know, the graphical user interface of SkyOS uses FreeType2 for truetype support. With this library, rendering 255 characters (20x20, Arial) needs about 680ms on a P200.
So I decided to implement a FontCache. With this fontcache, the same 255 characters are renderd in 15ms now.


If you ever plan to implement FreeType2 in your OS, implement a Font-Cache too. You will get a factor 40 performance increase ."
