Torque X StarterGame 3D

Hi all,

I'm considering using Torque X for my next project, so I downloaded the demo version of Torque X 2.0. I load up the basic starter app (Starter Game 3D (2.0)), and run it.. It is crazy slow... Not sure why. I have a pretty powerful gaming system..

Mind you, I'm pretty new in terms of XNA too, so it may be (actually, probably is) something obviously simple...

Hmm.. Seems like the CPU usage is pretty high.. 1 core at 100%.

Hmm. I built the Starter FPS application that came with the Torque X demo, and no issues...

Is it slow as in camera movement seems slow? The camera is set to move pretty slowly in that demo. Is it slow as in you get like 5 fps? If that is the case, then something else seems amiss. The CPU usage is just the way Torque is - it grabs as much resources as it possibly can in terms of CPU usage, so that it can run as fast as possible.

The 3d camera movement is not smooth. It is jumpy and quite unresponsive at times, when I am trying to move the camera around. I'll hold down a look-left key, and it does nothing for a while, then I see one unit of movement in the camera, then it will smoothly move for half a second, then nothing again for 5 seconds..
