But, of course, the operations in your example are *not* comparable. The structure of the V6 graphic is different from the V5 graphic at a fundamental level and the result is much nicer. It is this richer structure which allows for Opacity, interactive graphics, anti-aliasing, rotatable 3D graphics, and all the spectacular new V6 features. > In the meantime I will just stick with v5.2. This is certainly not necessary. You can always load the V5 graphics engine as follows: << Version5`Graphics` V6 will then generate generate the old style graphics, at the old style speed. You can switch back to V6 graphics via: << Version6`Graphics` I do think it would be nice, if this feature were documented, but I suspect that Wolfram is hoping to discontinue it at some point. Mark
