How to limit the number of frames ?

[zingbat]

So i need to limit the max number of frames in java3d to 30 then measure the amount of time i have left (in a second) to do other things.

Is there any easy way to do this ? With just a couple of lines of code ?

If this isn't possible then if it is possible to measure in average the time it takes for a frame to complete (average  of frames per seconds) it would do the trick I hope.

But only works well with 1.3.1! Due to a bug, kills your CPU with 1.3.

It worked fine for me before 1.3.1 on OpenGL.

On many different machines as well.

I could walk around in 3D with CPU using ½ power. I have not noticed any difference since 1.3.1 in this regard.

Maybe this bug was a DirectX bug..

I know, but I am just saying that maybe this error only occurs in special circumstances, since it has always worked for us.
