Szabolcs, on my system and Mathematica 6.0.1 your original example takes 54.2s to complete: data = Table[{Random[], Random[]}, {100000}]; Graphics[{PointSize[0.002], Point /@ data}, AspectRatio -> Automatic] The following equivalent statement (not available in Mathematica 5.2) takes 0.173s: data = Table[{Random[], Random[]}, {100000}]; Graphics[{PointSize[0.002], Point[data]}, AspectRatio -> Automatic] The version 5.2 graphics takes 1.58s to complete: << Version5`Graphics` data = Table[{Random[], Random[]}, {100000}]; Graphics[{PointSize[0.002], Point /@ data}, AspectRatio -> Automatic] // Show In[69]:= $Version Out[69]= "6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (June 19, 2007)" Dario
