my ESP doesn`t extend to reading your PC specs and the source code for your programs from where I am currently sat

, code actualy runs a little faster in programs I compile here, do you use sync?, is the monitor refresh rate locking your top speed outside the IDE?, is the code compiled to run windowed or FSE?, do DB apps not compiled by you run at full speed (demos etc)?, sounds like your speed is locked by something other than just a compiler error, are you saying a 800mhz machine and a 3ghz machine with the same card both run about 60fps?, could be an error in the compiler configuration or the settings, or maybe a quirk of your code, could be anything realy, but I don`t get what you describe.
