I did a little experiment: I would lock 500 culled plains onto the screen and texture them. Then using the same locations and textures, I use paste image to paste the 500 images to screen. Both of them have transparency enabled.

So, since they are both using the same settings (location on screen, transparency, and texture), it should be a fair contrast between the two methods. It was wierd when the locked plains averaged 18 fps, and the paste image averaged 21 fps.

So, what's better to use now? Or, are there any exceptions, like when you have a huge amount of plains on the screen?

edit: Never mind. Strangely enough, when I compiled it into an exe, the fps of the plains went up to 19 and paste image went down to 9... wierd...

Indeed...

DBC's 2D operations are not very fast at all.

If you had of had all the plains moving at a time, and all the images moving at a time, you would have seen the huge difference in FPS between the two...

Hope I Helped...
