Feel free to test and compare Edit: Comparisons for my machine (quite fast CPU, lots of RAM, widelands installed on tmpfs (ramdisk)): the 14h game: before 35s, after 14s the 27h game: before 159s, after 16s Edited: 2015-10-19, 07:08 UTC+2.0 CMake is evil.

Posted at: 2015-11-17, 08:30 UTC+1.0 You are right, i can confirm this on windows with current trunk: CPU Usage 4-6% on my system in full-screen (1440x768) or windowed mode(800x600) CPU Usage minimized 8-12% If the widelands window is just in the background, everything is fine, too. But the moment i minimize it, the CPU usage pretty exactly doubles... Top Quote

I think that this is a very important improvement, as I'm currently on 7519, and reluctant to update again until 19 comes out as I don't want to break my mods. I get similar slow load/save speed issues on the larger/longer maps, but happy to wait for the next full release. Top Quote

Well, the code is still in there, and it didn't seem to cause particular bugs (at least nothing coming up showed to be related to this commit so far ), and we tend not to remove features once in trunk, so this is probably looking good for b19.

I constantly get the impression that the game is hanging as it is consuming the total percentage of one of my cores. Although the machine is somewhat old (C2Duo t7500 at 2,2 GHz running Win7 64 bit) this never happened with the 7514 build. The reason for updating was the new terrain features required for map New England. Are there any changes in the game that use more ressources? Taking into account that I was previously able to run the game on my netbook (Atom N270) this behaviour looks somewhat weird to me. Normally I have the warehouse statistics open which never caused problems. Other graphical stats are not permanently open as this causes heavy load as previously discussed. Sometimes I had the impression that the effect is getting worse with more than 5 messages in the messages window. thanks for your patience best regards hessenfarmer Top Quote
