Find the best sphere resolutions for your card, launch *bench combinations* and send us your results (copy the session with <Control />) along with a complete description of your system (VTK/OS version, hardware description).

System :
  - i686 running Linux 2.2.16
  - VTK 3.1.1 (rev: 1.434, 2000/02/21 20:31:36)
  - OpenGL
  - Visual is 1280x1024, truecolor/truecolor/16
  - Tcl/Tk 8.3.1

Defaults :
NOTE : $active_camera GetClippingRange was 2.45199 4.78654 , should be 0.348564 17.4282 (correcting)
  - VTK : wrong, but corrected for compatibility
  - Rotation limit, increment, number : (300 by 30) x 3
  - Sphere opacity (if transparency activated) : 0.3
  - Sphere radius and small radius (if small_sphere activated) : 0.9, 0.5
  - Combinations : [stripper] [small_sphere] [] [transparency] [wireframe] [texture] [texture, transparency]
