Has anyone noticed some nasty performance issues over time running
patches with number boxes and GOP?More widgets are used, more performances will decrease, the design
of a patch could be an interesting topic...Number boxes seem to affect performance proportionately to how
many times they've changed Leaving a patch open that has multiple number boxes that change a
few times every second (for example bars:beats:ticks timer) for an
hour or more can sometimes bring my system to a grinding halt.
Restarting PD and reloading the patch usually fixes it.We don't need to put a numberbox for each value for sighing a
changing set of value, canvas could be used as well. one numberbox could be used with some patch magick, I particulary
use the zexy object [demux] for for using a single numbox to set a
large bunch of parameters.This seems to exacerbated if the number boxes are within a GOP
canvas, and even more so if said GOP canvas is contained in
another GOP canvas (for example, a GOP VU inside a GOP preamp).VU is dramatically a performance issue, but they could be replaced
by lighter objects, like canvas and sliders.
A quick fix is to use a [mapping/resample 100], which will just
output every 100ms. You probably can't read numbers faster than
every 100ms, and that will reduce the amount a redraws a lot. AFAIK,
the GUI objects try to draw everything they receive, even if it's
every 1ms. Almost all screens refresh every 10-17ms (60-100Hz), so
it's useless to update the number box anymore than that.
IMHO opinion, this should be built into the GUI objects. They should
only update at most every 10ms, or maybe it would be possible to get
the screen refresh rate via Tcl/Tk and set it according to that.
