I have been running Celestia on my system for some time ... isn't it great !
I run a triple head system (3 x 19" TFT's) using the Matrox Parhelia graphics card with an effective desktop resolution of 3840 x 1024.
Celestia looks
STUNNING at high res across three monitors
BUT ....
Recently I have had to do a complete system re-install and I now find Celestia is running very very slowly when I go to high res textures.
In task manager it says it is using 97-99 CPU .... ???? ....even at med res textures.
This never used to be this way ... it used to run smooth and sweet.
I have changed nothing in the reinstall ...
In fact I have re-installed a couple of times to try and sort this with out success.
Can any one help ? ... I'm sure it is something silly that I have missed.
