I have heard that there are performance differences between the two. I do not know if any change has been identified as the culprit though :-/. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 12:32 PM, Affolter Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.affolter@ntb.ch">martin.affolter@ntb.ch</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I've been looking into the vtkusers archive for a while now, and it helped me solve my vtk-problems in most cases. We use VTK in a CAD Application and decided to move from version 4.4 to the latest release, which is 5.4.2 at this time. So I downloaded the sources, made a VS2008 solution with Cmake and built the libs and dlls. Besides replacing some deprecated methods I did not have to change anything in our code. No compiler-warnings, no errors (of course).<br>
<br>
When I tested version 5.4.2 against 4.4 I found out, that 5.4.2 takes about 3-4 times longer to visualize a 3d-model of some robot-arm than version 4.4 did. The rendering while interacting is also very, very slow. Can anybody confirm such a performance drop? If so, then I think we might stick to v4.4 a little longer, if not, then I'll have to figure out what went wrong in my tests.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
Martin<br>
