I seem to have misplace my profiles, unfortunately. It's blatantly obvious if you run the opengl profiler (part of xcode) yourself, though - if you turn on partial printing, glColor3f is called a lot more. As in, thousands of times per tile. Without any other calls in between, which is just silly.

The upshot is that the main menu takes ~10% cpu use (at 20 gfps) with partial printing off, but - while it looks fine - it takes *25*% cpu use with it on. Not good. Also, I'm seeing 80-90% gpu usage, which is just plain silly, but I'm working on a wrapper for that. (Details in a few days, people, but I'd already like to request beta-testers that use (intel) macs. )

I am on OSX but I don't see the bug you're mentioning: the title screen takes 50% off (which is awful) and 6% on (which is ok).  My FPS and GFPS are factory default, but as near as I can determine, those are ignored on OSX -- looking at the battle champs source, the framerate is there, but it doesn't do anything with it.

I don't see the bug either, I run OS X on my laptop and with partial printing on in the current version my game runs 2x-3x faster. It didn't work on my laptop in anything earlier than 40c, but it definitely works now.

How amusing. A heisenbug. (Well, okay, not really, but..)

Out of curiosity, could you run DF with the opengl profiler on and post the statistics output? You'll need to run it attached to the profiler - you could run it *from* the profiler, but just attaching it is probably easiest, as then you won't have to set the CWD.

Anyhow, the profiler should be /Developer/Applications/Graphics Tools/OpenGl Profiler.app, assuming you have Xcode installed.

[ignore what I had said, I just don't know how to use this profiler]
