If the polycount is 300PS interpreted, then it would
be
a lot more when translated and compiled.
Note that Beta-1 is even faster than Alpha-4, and
future versions will be aswell.
The reason for doing it all in Eu is simple;
portability.
Eventhough using ASM might work for Euphoria right
now, as only Intel machines are supported, I'm
personally looking into porting issues for Euphoria on
different platforms. I discuss it a lot with Rob, and
he's interested too, as you might have notticed.
So it's cool to have a portable 3D library for
Euphoria, wich works on any platform, and not to
mention is easy to grasp for EUphoria coders that
don't know ASM.

Because it's Win32 only.
For Euphoria atleast.
I have not seen a Linux wrapper, but even so, Mesa
should be supprted aswell, as my deveopment code goes
as follows: Support DOS, because you'll be supporting
Windows, OS/2, Linux, etc. all together, since they
can all run DOS programs.
OpenGL is btw not in source form, the goal is to get a
Euphoria library, not some C library.
If that's what we needed, why not compile the Quake
III
engine into a DLL and use it from Euphoria, as a
matter
of speech.
