By all means, I'm not discouraging anyone from making their own system. It's a great way to challenge yourself and get something that custom-fits what you need. If anybody wants to pursue their own dashboard system, feel free to contact me if you want any help. That's what the Chief Delphi community is for.

I'm also not saying that the system I'm developing is faster than IMAQ, just that it is fast. I use the term hardware-accelerated because my dashboard can use DirectX or OpenGL as a renderer. When I do benchmarks (eventually), I'll be sure to share them.
