[Marble-devel] New scanline access method

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi,

I've tried it without the reinterprete cast and there isn't much of a 
difference. I consider making the chance nevertheless as it avoids the detach 
anyways.

BTW: A general performance tipp:

If your fps are this low then I suggest that you go into the 

Settings->Configure Marble-> Map Quality 

And then you change the Graphics System to "Raster" and restart Marble. This 
will often enough result in performance improvements if your framerates seem 
very low.
