tiled texture

Hello,
I have a problem when applying a texture to a quad. I want the texture to appear tiled 5x5 times in the quad. I use the following code :

glBegin (GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2d (0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f (-1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);

glTexCoord2d (0.0f, 5.0f);
glVertex3f ( 1.0f, -1.0f, 0.0f);

glTexCoord2d (5.0f, 5.0f);
glVertex3f ( 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

glTexCoord2d (5.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f (-1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glEnd ();

This example works but it is very slow.
Is this the way to apply a texture tiled, or Should I try to display 25 quads (5x5) with one texture in each quad ?
Thanks in advance.
(ps. Sorry for my bad English)

The reason why it’s “slow” might be because the texture is faily large, compared to the size of each tile as rendered on screen. A texture that is too large will cause lot’s of cache-misses, and might degrade performance. Try upload the texture as a mipmap (using gluBuild2dMipmaps, unless you already do so), and set minmification filter to GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR or one ot it’s frieds.

Otherwise, this is more or less the only way to reperat textures. Of course, you can pre-tile the texture, but you loose flexibility.
