Ok, i´ll try to reproduce some patches in b20 and b25 when i have a few time, to see the performance differences particularly in dualcore machines, like the new tablet pcs.
Not for all the projects have we the possibility to use a core i7 with a gtx580 and ssd.
Besides this topic of performances, If i may suggest ooooo devvvvs please to fix the interaction mouse clicks on ioboxes
I know thats like a beginner asking why to a master but by the hell why on ioboxes it s freezzing sluttering ?
Ant there timers in delphi ( is vvvv still developp in delphi ?) to treat mouse click logicals outside frame based main loop ?
i’d argue nothing has significantly changed in vvvvs rendering engine after b23. thats why i’d love to see patches prove your statements. and it shouldn’t be hard to prove:
when you are talking of “more resource consuming on graphic card” please show us a patch that when opened in b23 and b25.1 shows different output on Memory (Debug ex9)
when you are talking of slower execution of shaders please show us a patch using a shader that when opened in b23 and b25.1 shows different fps using PerfMeter (Debug)
also this sounds easy to prove
a patch doing a feedback effect that works in b20 and not in b25.1
simple as that, no?
we are aware of the gui stutters/delays you mentioned, but they should be completely separated in this discussion.
@joreg, I will surely ask something VERY stupide once again.
I have downloaded alpha25.2… just donwloaded and open ( no patching).
with addons pack: 10 seconds to open (splash screen) until the blanck patch window open
without addons pack: 7 seconds
vs beta 25.1 with addons packs: 7 seconds
vs beta 23 with addons packs: 4 seconds !!!
Is it because of nodes browser data base creation or is it because its pre-loading somehow all dlls in memory ?
About tests,
Sorry not to arrive to be precise, but “there are certain things that user feels” ( Kalle’s one). i will get one of my show, the one with 17 shaders, and see specifically your asking.
@alpha25.2: interesting numbers, but please keep all alpha-talk on irc only. we don’t want the forum to be confused with alpha vs. beta talk, so excuse me for not answering here.
@users feelings:
thats fine, only it doesn’t help devvvvs or other users reading about those. thats why we always ask for patches demonstrating those feelings.
@Joreg:
Maybe it´s well known but i wanted to add it.
Simple sobel edge feedback effect, in b20 works
it doesn´t work in second screen on b25.
It happens also with greg´s wave simulator shader as IO wrote in some thread.
