I tried it on my desktop and my laptop. It pops up instantly on my desktop. I
can see it draw the boxes on my laptop, but I wouldn't call it *slow*. It's
hard to say where in the graphics pipeline the bottleneck might be. It's not
the graphics chip per se, because I can render 3-D surfaces on my laptop in IDL
and rotate them in real time with the mouse with essentially instantaneous
response.
