Hello Andreas!
As the press release and beta testers said OS4.1 has got a compositing engine for hardware accelerated 2D effect. Could Hollywood gain any benefit from this engine? Andreas, do you know any details about this? If this helps to make the OS4 version of hollywood more faster will you plan to support it?

Probably not
Hollywood is currently not really optimized for the ultimate speed. I know several parts of the code that could be optimized and it would lead to a significant speed up... (for instance, the window handler could run on its own thread; this would give about 10% more speed; but you would only notice this with Hollywood scripts that tickle the cpu)
I'll go for the optimizations when I feel that Hollywood can do everything I want it to do... but it hasn't arrived at this stage yet

I had hope for an other answare, but it is promising as well.

Yes, remember: Optimizations take LOTS OF time because you have to rewrite stuff carefully to be sure you don't break anything. That takes lots of time which I rather invest in bringing more features. Optimization will be started once Hollywood is complete
