Re: [Enigma-devel] mouse pointer jumps suddenly

[Andreas Lochmann]

Hi Cornell,

yes, your bug looks like some missing performance. Just yesterday
I tried Enigma on a very old laptop, Pentium 166, Windows 98. Although
a little slow on startup, the gameplay was fluent (except for some really
CPU-intensive levels, like "Bright Dots").
Unless your laptop is older than this (which do you use?), your bug points
at some problem with Debian and/or your installation of Enigma.
Did you compile Enigma yourself? 0.92, 1.00 or an svn-version?
Did you notice other applications or games running similarly slow?
Please start "enigma --log"; is there something interesting in the output?

Greets from Goettingen,
Andreas
