I use this construction: while running == True: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == blahblahblah, #processing various events blahblahblah, contiuing the code after events are analysed I am looking mainly for keyboard events. I notice a quite nonnegligible lag when running this under Windows XP, when compared to the same code on Ubuntu 12.04. Python and pygame version should be the same: Python 2.7.3 pygame 1.9.1 Can anyone please help me? Thank you, Vojta
