I can't wait for these updates. Do you plan on implementing them after the holidays ?
Providing nobody tells me "you can't do that, it'll break loads of stuff" I'll probably put mine in soon, Gregory's might come after a while, but he has lots of work on his plate
Yes busy life. Don't take anything for granted. Multithread is a rather complex topic. I need to test various ideas and profile it to measure the gain. I also want to replace a standard wait lock by a spin lock but it might kill/deadlock 2 cores CPU. So in short I have some ideas but nothing concrete
On the thread performance, it could be linked to vsync
I can certainly give some of these tricks a try on my dualcore 2520m based Thinkpad T420 with its Nvidia NVS 4200m.
