If the delay increases, you should try a 'lighter configuration' : a main window's width at 700 pixels, and a longer time interval (you can find this it at Menu -> Edit -> Preferences); If the delay is stable and your CPU is not overloaded, you could try to re-configure with the '--enable-realtime' option, to allow spectrum3d to have a higher priority (RR p=50 to be precise); note that you'll have to edit (or create) the '/etc/limits.d/security/audio.conf' file and add yourself as a member of the 'audio' group if you do that (it is explained in the doc if you want); otherwise, you'll have to run spectrum3d as root Wich kernel are you using? A preempt would probably have better results, but this is probably tweaking a bit more your system...

Indeed, on this machine, it should rock :-) There is a realtime audio analysis and display in 3d.... this is CPU and GPU consuming... > I already had libgtk2.0-dev, but still got errors > during make (not during ./configure) about missing > libgtk+-2... > So I compiled it from source, after meeting several > of it's dependencies. This concerns me; it should work out of the box with just libgtk2.0-dev installed.
