CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Since I worked on the new widgets/views, I wanted to profile the performance to see if I was going in the right direction - and to see how much we/I have to optimise

I'm running the CEGUIPerformanceTests project, 5 times, averaging the times then to provide an average run time.
The listbox test structure is the following: https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui/src/c ... ult#cl-113
The actual tests are in here: https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui/src/c ... at=default

So, it seems that from v0-8 to default we had an increase in time (except for tree which seems to get better )

TaharezLook/ItemListbox: 3.15 -> 3.35 = 6% performance decrease
TaharezLook/Listbox: 0.59 -> 1.97 = 233% performance decrease
TaharezLook/Tree: 2.21 -> 1.96 = 12% performance increase

Of all, Listbox got the greatest hit . I'm not sure why this happened.

Any opinions on this?

I increased performance in the creation of geometry buffers. I plan to do more improvements in that section in the near future but you could test again already if you want.
