This is always a delicate subject but here goes: To the best of my knowledge
Paradigm and Coryphaeus both have toolkits based on Performer that run
exclusively on SGI. Both sense-8 and Gemini (phone 714-727-1980) have toolkits
that are portable. By definition (and in practice) Performer is tuned for high
performance on SGI platforms and even though one could have a similar API to
Performer cross platform it would be hard to take advantage of special ways of
getting more speed out of the H/W like Performer does with SGI.

BTW: the correct spelling is CORYPHAEUS
