Hi Mario,
did you update Xmaxima to the latest CVS version from yesterday?
Did you try that command from console maxima, wxmaxima or xmaxima?

I've tried it with C++ and tcl and I don't see much difference. The
problem is that it uses OpenGL so its rendering is highly dependent on
your graphics card. In some of the laptops where I have tried it it
works very fast.
