As a recent purchaser of Jim's wonderful aquarium program and having read a lot of the posts on this site, I find myself puzzled by the fps obsession.

I am running the aquarium on a Sony Viao Pentium I 233, 64 mg, All in Wonder 4 mg. On my machine the fish swim very smoothly, look fantastic, no banding except on the background. Yet my fps=10 in full screen mode and 21 fps in windowed mode with all 7 fish. The fps goes up a bit with fewer fish but nothing that affects the overall appearance.

Now my question: Many posters are showing fps up to 200 and I've seen no one that admits to an fps as low as mine, what good is all of the extra fps?

Great job Jim! I am looking forward to a future release (just downloaded 99H) which will make it possible not to switch from 24 bit to 16 bit to run the program.
