i have been experimenting with the new rendering tools in 5.0

Here is a stack that allows you to experiment for yourselves. Run this in the message box.

   go url "http://jamesphurley.com/jhurleyFolder/SimpleMotion.livecode"

It doen't appear that 5.0 is that different from 4.6 when the graphic demands are simple. But for multiple moving objects, there is clearly an advantage to 5.0

I have also post a stack illustrating a number of graphic functions on the User Samples section of the LiveCode application. These all work reasonably well in 4.6 and 5.0 They may also be downloaded by typing this in the Message Box:

     go url "http://jamesphurley.com/jhurleyFolder/ProgrammableGraphics.livecode"

Render unto 5.0 that which is complex and 
render unto 4.6 that which is simpler.
