Huge slowdown question



Hi all,

I'm using a slightly adapted version of the sample code QTCoreVideo101
which has provided a nice starting point for CoreVideo.  I'm noticing
a partcular problem.

When the video window is made sufficiently large (width, height >= 1/2
screen dimensions) and semi transparent, weird things happen.  While
the performance of QTCoreVideo101 remains high, performance for a few
other apps slows down.  Namely, iChat text message update scrolling
slows, text boxes are more sluggish to type in, and switching between
windows gets slower.

The ``top" app reveals the app is using < 10% CPU, but the
WindowServer app goes from 1-2% to > 20%.  I'm no expert at OpenGL,
but that seems to be causing part of the problem.  Does anyone have an
idea of what's going on and how to resolve it?

Thanks,
Ian
