(Mac PPC) 1.29.0.23 view azimuth changes are not smooth

[dog3]

Config: 1.29.0.23, 10.5.5, 2x2G5

(serious) Problem: (Offline+Online) Spawned as french rifle@sedan forward/backward motion is smooth, rotation is jerks or stutters. Problems appears to be worst in infantry avatars but visible in vehicles as well.

What is your frame rate there?

I admit the fps is highly variable upon quick moves spinning on your axis, although it's not any different than in the past. I will see 30-33 then as a spin quickly, it drops to 15 or so then moves up to 24, occasionally it will drop to 10 before recovering within a second or so back to wherever it was. It doesn't appear to be different than my previous tests in older versions. It's isn't so much a stutter for me as just a temp drop. I have a similar dual g5 (with x800) as dog. THe real slowdowns only occur when there are lots of inf present in the area, this test was by myself.

The effect on infantry avatars is apparent in both online and offline modes. I don't think that this is a fps issue. IIRC, my frame rate was about ~23. Moving forward/backward the view changes smoothly, it is only rotational changes where the view updates are not smooth.

I think that it might be a mouse issue. if I rotate using the arrow keys, then I don't seem to see the anomaly but if I rotate using the mouse I do. Perhaps this is a mouse event event issue?

We did change some timer related things but only for Win32 AFAIK.

With what versions do you have the problem?

Config: 1.29.0.23, OSX 10.5.5, 2x2G5

This is the only config that I have been able to test this on.
