Only 12 Enemies, And My Fps Drops To 30, Why Is That?

Guys, I have 7 animated enemies. And my fps is 62 for now( not capped). But when I add 5 more enemies and make them 12, my fps drops to 31. I traced the problem and I finally found it, it's my BoneTransform() function, which fills my vector of TransformMatrices that I use in the vertex shader in order to animate the skeleton. But it rapes my CPU. ( when I comment the BoneTransform() function, framerate goes from 30 to 166!( sometimes jumps between 166 and 200 ). And I kind of stole most of the function from a tutorial on skeletal animation, and I'm sure it's pretty optimized, so there must be some other reason. [attachment=32770:lowfps.gif] I used some models from World of Warcraft. And the interesting thing is that I have the game, and when I play it( when I play WoW ), I can have 20 players around me, and my fps is great, but when I add the same models in my own game, my fps drops like crazy and it's 10 times slower than the original game, why? ( bear in mind that I haven't even loaded any map, I just spawn 12 enemies walking on air, and my cpu runs like a fat truckdriver, wtf is that?? ).

git and/or hg are the actual programs to handle version control. They are free programs, you can download them, and use them at your own computer.

github and bitbucket are repository hosting sites. They provide repository storage space with a backup facility. Their target audience is developers that want to have a repository to share the code between everybody in a project.

Purely for version control, you don't need a hosting site. A directory at your disk will work too. Of course you do need to backup that data, much like you have to do that now.

Many indie devs like the Servant above, use the hosting site as a external backup medium.

How many matrices are we talking about? Interpolating a few thousand 3x3 matrices per frame shouldn't be a problem at all. If you are doing a lot of interpolation, perhaps you should consider using quaternions to represent your rotations, because interpolating quaternions is really cheap, especially if you use nlerp.
