…A to change much priority at the Lab. They are already working on improved performance. Stability and performance are both high priority now. JIRA items VWR-1135 and VWR-14221 are duplicates. Item VWR-1135 is shown as Awaiting Review. …it is not the JIRA item awaiting review. It is the issue of multi-threading that is awaiting review.

…n your video card controls. Those terms above are listed in order of worse performance to better performance. Super-Sampling is a bit of a brute force method. The newer types of AA have links and provide AA more efficiently. One has to do some trial and error testing to see how AA performs on their hardware. More Video RAM improves AA performance. Newer video cards have better, faster AA processing algorithms. UPDATE: (9/2011) There are new ways t… Continue reading →

…get in the new computer. SL Performance If you wonder how these levels of performance affect viewer performance, I can help. I have viewers installed in the WD C:\ mechanical drive. I have other plans for my SSD. I have tried caches in the WD, the SSD, and the RAM disk. The changes have almost no effect on Frames per Second (FPS). It is so small I can’t measure it with any certainty. Where I see a big different is in the time needed to render a s… Continue reading →

…day about lunch time the Lindens posted a blog article titled Performance, Performance, Performance. The surprising part, at least to me, is the performance improvements made to the Market Place. I’ve been covering the coming change to Viewer Managed Market Place. But, I don’t recall hearing about Market Place (MP) performance improvements. Whatever, the Lindens say they are seeing a 70% faster response time and pages load 30% faster. Builder’s Br… Continue reading →

…8. Try values 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1. These changes will slow scene render performance but should reduce your network packet loss, which can kill scene render performance. HttpPipelining should NOT be disabled. Disabling is a commonly recommended fix for texture loading issues. Oz Linden explains, “If you disable pipelining, you create a lot more TCP connection setup traffic; the connection setup packets are not congestion-controlled, but the pack… Continue reading →

…Comparisons) X99 You will also see x99 motherboards. These provide better performance for professionals. As the 6th gen CPU’s make these boards obsolete and push prices to the level of z97’s, these are a higher performance option. Cost: $80 to $300. Best: I happen to like Asus. That doesn’t mean they are the best. I just like them. But a z97 or x99 is likely our best choice. Memory Computer memory, RAM, is a seldom discussed bottleneck in the SL… Continue reading →
