Perf changes in 2.43.1f

(1/4) > >>

EricL:
I'm curious as to what if any performance improvements people have experienced with 2.43.1f.   Any quantitatvie data on before and after cycles/sec and sim size (both bot number and field size) etc. would be welcome.

Testlund:
The solid bots seem to improve performance a lot. If I just tap the magnifyer to zoom in a bit to display the bot details I get a decrease in speed with several cycles/sec. But as far as I've seen the performance boost is greater the faster the sim is running. A sim running at 1 cycle/sec will not have any performance boost nomatter what I click on.

Numsgil:
What about overall sim speed ups?  Eric fixed a system I started a few years ago that should make the version faster (it would be most apparent if graphics were disabled).

Testlund:
My performance test:

1. Normal speed fully zoomed out: 14 cycles/sec.

2. One tap on 'zoom in' magnifyer to display bot details: 8.4 cycles/sec.

3. Maximum zoom in on 1 bot: 16.3 cycles/sec.

4. Fully zoomed out and activating 'Toggle Fast Mode' button: 17.9 cycles/sec.

5. Toggling 'Flicker mode' does nothing.

6. Clicking on the 'Smiley' button to turn bots into plants and ants will make the sim look frozen and slow it down to below 1 cycle/sec. This function will choke DB completely!

7. Turning off graphics by clicking on the button with the monitor: 17.4 cycles/sec.

EricL:
Yes, but do you find 2.43.1f faster than previous versions?
