Well, the tiles at home tile creation process is probably as far away from 
"realtime" as it gets ;-) but Marble projects these tiles onto the globe 
quite quickly, indeed if you have a fast machine and a normal screen 
size then you get a real-time effect while turning the globe with your 
mouse.

The very-large-Xvfb-through-VNC method that I discussed here of course 
does not lend itself to very high graphics performance though ;-)

Bye
