Re: [ngl-devel] Very nice but very slow

Hi!

Thanks to me being under heavy jet lag, I found some time to fix a lot 
of performance issues in NUI tonight. All of the problems had to do with 
text rendering. There are still some problems left and I think i'll find 
some time to do it soon! (nuiEditText needs to be rewritten using 
nglFontLayout, nuiFontBase should be a bit smarter when it comes to 
texture management and rendering, etc...).

I'm adding these changes to the CVS right now.

Let me know if things are getting any better for you. (text rendering is 
what is really killing nui right now, we really need to implement a 
better solution to render a collection of glyph FAST, it's easy but 
still has to be done ;).
