[PD] max msp vs pd

[vade]

I havent tested GF or pdp, but I have dont some testing between  
Jitter 1.2.3, 1.5, and Gem 0.9.

Gem makes Jitter 1.2.3 its bitch for doing any kind of openGL work,  
or texturing to the screen as far as raw framerates go, Jitter 1.5 is  
a huge improvement over 1.2.3, but Gem still edges out in terms of  
raw OpenGL capability (esp jitter 1.5 now has YUV support, but not  
all 'effects' modules properly support it. However, Jitter all  
inclusive allows for much more flexibility in what/how etc gets drawn  
(esp. with 1.5 with full shader support, etc). I know shader support  
is in cvs, but ive yet to toy with it for GEM.

I might be persuaded to do a bake off on a group of patches. Would be  
a good way to learn the best way to program for each env. efficiency  
wise.

And yeah, Documentation and all that ;)
