While I don't have the sluggishness problems at all, I noticed another
slight problem with the new code: Viewport changes caused by
edgeflipping obviously cause a window movement by s->width / s->height
pixels (depending on your edgeflipping direction). This big jump is
animated by wobbly causing some "shiver" effect which looks pretty
weird.
This problem is normally obscured by rotate's flip time, but becomes
visible pretty easily if you set this setting to a low value (such as 20
ms).
Unfortunately I don't have a solution off-hand :-(
Regards,
Danny
