"Sequence supervisor Robert Weaver is a technical director on Episode II. Weaver's desk has a Linux PC on the left side and an SGI O2 on the right. Because the Linux desktop is configured to look like the SGI O2, it isn't immediately apparent which screen is which, until Weaver demonstrates the difference in speed. He says,
The old system is so slow that the clones firing lasers appear to be throwing javelins. We've seen about a five times speed improvement with Linux, which is appreciated! I'd say Linux is one of the most successful efforts we've had. I can't say enough good things about it. It is intuitive, incredibly stable, and we can get stuff fixed at a moment's notice. Our renderer hasn't been ported yet but will be by the summer. That's all that's keeping me on the O2."
