I was comparing the FPS in various revisions a while back and noticed several revs had a drop in FPS from prior revisions. So, today I'm building an FPS database from past revisions going back to R12, R13, R14, Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 2 update, and also the alphas (about every 25 revs). I'm going to be testing 2 different areas in about 5 games per test and recording the data. Now this amounts to about 250 tests total, but I believe it should in the end net us at least 5% in FPS if the numbers I saw in prior testing are correct.
After this first round of tests and a speed graph of sorts is put together. I will look for where for any losses and try to correct them. We have a lot of code and around 500 or so changes that have been made since R14 so I think this is the best approach. After correction and in the future. I will run these tests on every new revision. This will take me a few days just to finish all the testing and I'll report the results then. Then report again after I correct as many losses as possible.

I updated my BK speed tests, hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteActually, Yes it has a bit. I found a few of the losses already. There will be more to follow. Also the losses are at least 10% and I've already found how to recover about 5%. I'll prolly be posting the new rev early next week once I finish my testing and lost speed recovery.
ReplyDeleteGlad to help! Tester status is nice too (If your the one that did that)
ReplyDeleteRetro good job on that bk speed test by the way.
