I've noticed much degraded hardware OpenGL performance under Windows 
XP starting just with the changes in Amaya 9.2 addressing some 
issues causing garbage display when using hardware accelerated 
OpenGL. If I set 'GL_ACCELERATED=yes' in "thot.rc" the animation on 
the startup "AmayaPage_WX.html" page is really choppy and working 
with the application is somewhat slower (the UI is less responsive). 
If I've set 'GL_ACCELERATED=no' (the default) the animation is just 
smooth. This is the opposite I had got previously, using the 
hardware accelerated OpenGL I had much better performance.

How does the hardware vs. software OpenGL performance compare on 
other systems?
