japhb The tweaking worker addition PR seems to work well for many small, fast animations. After 30+ test runs, some general observations: 00:05
For large, slow animations, mostly single-threaded in design, it's about the same, maybe *slightly* worse. 00:07
For large slow *multi-threaded* animations, it's again about the same. 00:08
For medium single-threaded animations, it's about the same, maybe slightly faster.
For medium *multi-threaded* animations, it begins to pull away -- somewhat faster, but definitely more stable performance. 00:10
For small fast *multi-threaded* animations, it's ~25% faster and again much more stable performance. 00:11
Maximum parallelism actually recovered -- around 3-4 cores for my tests. (I have a 4 cores * 2 threads/core processor) 00:14
I should say 3-4 *virtual* cores, meaning 3-4 thread units filled.
Nicholas good news - I have sherry 10:02
bad news - it's growing on me
MasterDuke i've only ever had sherry as an alternative to vermouth in a manhattan, never by itself. but i am in england, guess i should get some... 19:35
