That is so strange. The difference between 1 tree w&wo AA is 5x's while the difference for 9 trees is 17x's! Something is wrong there. Could be a Mac quirk, could be (and I suspect it is) a MEMORY quirk. You may be using more memory than you have available for 9 trees and it's dipping into VM whereas a single tree doesn't. Before you bring up the VuePro numbers, realize that VuePro may be optimizing memory storage (since the trees are part of VuePro) whereas C4D gets nothing but a ton of polygons.
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
