The SH4 graphic engine needs to be optimized?

[seafarer]

Given the range of hardware people are running SH4 on, I think it's near impossible to get any kind of objective consensus from a poll like this. Which also raises the issue I'm sure every game development team faces. Tighten up the game performance, and you may end up restricting it to only those few with the most recent and very high end components/systems.

Look at the folks who have graphics hardware that's alright for SH3, but runs SH4 poorly. If I had to buy a whole new system or add the cost of major component upgrades every time a new game came out, I'd soon just stop buying games.

For me, I'm quite happy with the overall performance. My only issue is one mentioned here before, where frame rates drop suddenly, and simply switching to the desktop and right back restores things again. I've yet to figure out even what might be going on there, but it's a mere annoyance, not a huge performance bug.
