Maybe try an autobuild from a month ago, before the color changes?
Could you post patches that illustrate the slow loading?
I'll try earlier versions to see when the problem happened - but it is true of ALL patches - whenever they are redrawn it takes extra
CPU time by the Pd-0.40.3-extended process. I'll keep exploring ...
but so far:CPU peaks when a patch is opened, the window is resized or moved
onto the screen (the CPU usage depends on the number of elements
currently visible in the patch window).CPU is not affected when windows are moved inside the screen boundaries or covered/uncovered by other windows, dialogue boxes
etc.another odd, unhelpful behaviour and possibly a useful detail:
when a GOP abstraction is open while editing (ie it is showing as a grey rectangle) and the grey rectangle is moved then CPU usage goes up and the abstraction's window in the background is (very redundantly) redrawn
I made no changes there. You are beginning to discover for yourself the inspiration behind Desire Data. :)
indeed!
the problem first occurred in the 07/11/06 build (there must have
been a few changes as the .app is 20MB larger), all is as it should
be in 07/11/04
I'll try timing etc now
