I tested the kicad new 3d viewer (W7, 32 bits wxWidgets 3.1).
I can confirm issues found by Nick:

- in opengl Mode building the 3D view roughly takes 3 times the
calculation time of stable or 3d initial merge version for the same board.
- in ray tracing mode, the "pixelization" is *very* noticeable.
- Also the display freezes often. most of times, switching "Use touch
pad to pan" on or off is a very temporary workaround, but not perfect
(for instance moving the mouse when pushing the right button works, but
not the mouse wheel)

The space touch is awesome.

It could be worth to show a "wait cursor" instead of the standard mouse
cursor during calculations, because they usually take a while.

Thanks for your work, Mário (and thanks to Cirilo).
