Just ran sonic's code snippet on my laptop with GeForce2Go 16MB... before patch for it was about 2-3 msec per box, after patch 4 it is now 0-1 msec per box. Nice!

My buddy has a "Mobility Radeon 9000" in his Dell laptop... I'm getting him to run the test on it now...

My buddy here at work has a "Mobility Radeon 9000" with 64MB, WinXP Home, 512MB RAM, in his Dell laptop... using the latest Dell supplied driver - version 6.14.1.6292. I'm getting him to run the test on it now...

Results for the Dell laptop with the 64MB Mobility Radeon 9000:

1 = 3705
2 = 2404
3 = 2563
4 = 10
5 = 0
6-20 = 0

The laptop is a 1.6 GHz P4 with 384MB RAM (not 512) running WinXP Home Edition.

So, it would appear that even some of the Mobility Radeons are affected by this problem.

Well, I tried the same code of sonic's and here are my results:

1 = 390
13 = 10

everything else = 0

and mind you I own a Mobility Radeon 7500C video card, so ED I guess you're correct about the Mobility cards...I guess the owners of those 'lucked' out.

On my GeForce2 MX440 (AMD 1700+) machine, the times are :

10
10
0
0
0
0
0
0
etc...

The GeForce2 MX 100/200 (which is a 1.7Ghz Intel) machine, creates all but two in 0 seconds - the non-zero ones are created in 11 and 1 ms.

The GeForce4 MX creates all but one objects in 0ms - the one that isn't (and it varies, takes 10ms)

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

So this problem is not a compile delay problem
but rather a module execution problem?

Yep... it's a problem after your program is running. I can compile my program using my laptop GF2Go system, then run the EXE on my Radeon system and it takes 20 seconds to create the first few boxes (with a blank black screen, the mouse works, but the system is very busy in the meantime - I can tell because the Windows task bar at the bottom of the screen doesn't pop up for several seconds when I move the cursor to the bottom of the screen).
