How to optimize performance ? (Or the "keep the fans off" thread)
Hi everyone !
Remember "Macromedia Flash" ? It is a dead technology that used to allow total freedom at the expense of HUGE computation. It has been abandoned... As much as I loved the possibilities at the time, fact is, running a somewhat simple game within your browser would require all the power and memory your computer could give, no matter how powerful, and in my humble opinion, I'm happy it has been discontinued, I HATED the way my -powerful then- MacbookPro would start to spin its fa
Hello this is a really interesting question!
To reduce CPU usage, here are some rules to follow:
- Textures sizes do not impact CPU they are completely GPU handled
- Number of objects: try to keep it low
- Try to keep the number of materials low to avoid context switching
- In a general manner, try to reduce or completely avoid instancing new objects because it adds pressure to the garbage collector (which is fully CPU based)
- Collisions and physics are also CPU in
