3d graphics routine prob

[shauno]

I have a 3d filled vector routine which is currently giving me some problems -- It's a fastish routine, which gives around 45-55 FPS normally. HOWEVER, when I'm running it, I'm only getting around 18FPS. HOWEVER, the strange bit is, that when I waggle the mouse around the bottom of the screen (toolbar, moving it over the icons currently there) the speed jumps up dramatically to around 50FPS for the same object. As soon as I stop moving the mouse, the routine goes back to about 18FPS. Is there some switch I need to set somewhere in order to have exclusive processor priority or summat like that ? I'm pretty new to VB (used to assembler 'n the like), so I don't really know where to start looking.I have a standard form, maximised to cover the whole visible screen, with a picturebox in there to display the gfx on. I also don't know how to switch off the flippin mouse cursor too ! Any help would be greatly received !!!

Thanks in advance.
Shaun.

Make an EXE and run. This might better your FPS.
