An Amiga 500 could smoothly scroll text vertically across a screen. An A500 ran with a CPU running at around 7MHz. A PC running windows with a CPU in excess of 2000Mhz doesn't seem to be capable of this feet why it that?
what's more is a A500 could not only do this completely smoothly but also run colour effects over that text and bounce it up and down or make it follow a sine wave curve.
Yeah, I've noticed that when writing SDL programs in windows... It probably has something to do with the priority of some task related to DirectX... Try compling your on a Mac, everything runs smoothly there, I suspect Apple give the gfx subsytem a higher task priority than M$ do...
