What I found:

Parser is twice as fast.

Meshes are about 30% faster.

Average speed up is about 15% as reported by many
users... However, they all had Pentium 2's, and not K6's.

and:

-- Some minor bugs were corrected.
-- Some (minor) features were added, namely:
(in the currently available version on my web page)
   ETA counter, PPS with 2 digit precision (ex: 0.15 pps),
   pixel-in-line progress gadget,
(in the soon-to-be-on-my-web-page version)
   Wheel mouse support about everywhere, except in
   the editor window (because I can't compile it, my version
   of Delphi is too old), Render window refresh bug repaired
   (this bug was that sometimes the render window did not
   refresh correctly when another application changed the
   palette), ETA counter bug fix (eh... these things happens!),
   and... and... what else have I added or changed....?

Eventually, I'm going to profile the whole thing to see where CPU
time goes. Maybe I'll rewrite some small parts.

Best,

    S.
