SUBJECT: A new way to look at the demos
I've uploaded a modified harness to my VU tutorial page. It builds on Sauce's improvements, then adds a performance bar which show you very visually how much work the VU is doing per frame - quite useful really!

It shows some really interesting facts - like just how much work it takes to rotate those 100 cubes, and how much of a difference it makes when text is also displayed on the screen...
