Whether you like it or not, I revisited the particle demo. I can now say unless I learn assembly (which still won't help any), it's done.
The direct rendering thing is just like major ownage.
Because of the way the engine is made, I really can't get any more polys onscreen, I have tried. It spreads out too much with intensities of like 2000 being created per frame.
At 2000 per frame, with everything I could do to keep them all onscreen as long as possible, it had minor slowdowns for a few seconds while it allocated a huge chunk of memory at once, but then it caught up and got up to a constant 17,000+ particles onscreen at a constant 60 fps.
There is just seriously nothing more I can do here.
