I would recommend setting the displaylist attribute for the target
object to draw, and then using the ignore object attributes flag for
draw object. This should speed things up a bit. Lastly, you might
want to decrease the number of vertices for each gridshape.

In Jitter 1.5.3/1.6 there are some faster ways coming to render
multiple objects, general improvements to jit.gl.sketch, and bug
fixes for multiple objects with displaylist attributes set to true.

deceasing @dim improved the overall performance. I can’t use the ignore
attributes flag, because every plane has it’s own texture, and alpha. I’m
also changing textures, positions and rotation all the time. Sometimes for
every frame, so I guess displaylists are also out of the question.
I’m glad to hear that 1.5.3 will improve on some of this. Im very much
looking forward to the new updates. I guess it will also be worth porting my
code to Java.

You can, FWIW, use displaylists which are only applicable to the
geometry. However there’s a bug in 1.5.2 for mulitple instances of
gridshape or nurbs with @displaylist 1. Here’s how I might do it: use
one instance of jit.gl.gridshape wiht @displaylist on, use ignore
attributes, and then update the gl state in sketch for each plane to
render.

In Jitter 1.5.3/sketch there is a jit.gl.multiple object which takes
incoming matrices for position, rotation, texture, etc. to draw many
instances of one object with much higher performance than doing this
in the patcher or JS.
