Lightwave 4.0 renders slower

Product: Lightwave 4.0 renders slower

Platforms: Amiga

Problem: LightWave 4.0 renders about 25% slower on 040 systems than did 3.5. Lightwave does not perform as well as expected on an 060 as compared to an 040 or earlier processor.

The product team switched compilers for the multi-platform version of LightWave. The compiler that had been used to that point lacked certain libraries that were needed and did not detect certain errors in the code. The compiler we switched to had these things, but does not optimize for the 040 or 060 processors.
