feedback for GE 4b1/2 after running the application for a few minutes with intensive zooms and flythroughs, the performance decreases dramatically and renders the app useless. There seems to be a connection with the mem-cache:
1) Increasing the mem-cache to (on my machine) to 600MB delays the appearance of the performance-decrease.
2) Clearing the mem-cache through the options-menu resolves the performance-issue for the moment - after a while the problem re-appears as described above.
The problem exists in both beta builds released so far. DirectX and OpenGL show similar behaviour. GE 3 is not concerned.
