Ok worked a little bit on the problem.
Before the modification:
Geforce2: 110 milliseconds for level switch
Geforce 5900XT with 512mbyte video ram and latest driver: 300 milliseconds

After the modification:
Geforce2: 40 milliseconds
Geforce 5900XT: 50 milliseconds

The window size was a little bit smaller for the Geforce2, that's why it might still be some milliseconds lower.
It seems that the newer drivers take much more time for updating textures that are in the video memory, or they're more optimized for DirectX 10 stuff. It should be ok now though with the modifications I made, so with the next Graal version (next week) it should work better.

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Is an OpenGL/Direct3D mode(s) going to be put in too?
I never liked that from Graal 3, it made the picture quality...like...not as straight as it is now.

I'm pretty sure it'd be optional to use them, and DirectX would still be default. Yeah, I agree it looks worse in OpenGL, but I think Direct3D was fine. Having these options would be like a performance/quality control.

Does this newer graal version work with the newer Nvidia drivers for XP 32 and 64 bit? And what of the ATI drivers 32 and 64 bit? Have you been able to resolve any other bugs?? Erg I should just talk to you in person on RC or something...
