Andrew, you will be interested in reading this!
Andrea, if you have time, can you confirm?
Ben, you will not believe this!?
even simple transitions like dissolve cause the framerate to go anywhere from 35-60 all the way down to a slideshow. Not sure why this is, but I'm using the latest build (as of Feb 27th on Arch).
...
but when transitioning they all seem to slow down horribly.
It took at least 25 builds on GG's systems to reach the following conclusion (luckily his computer is fast).
OPTIMIZATION levels are important !!
The good news is that the slowdown in transitions was only affecting you go-getters who do your own builds as a developer. Most likely you were using the following as suggested in the Features5 manual:
CFLAGS=-ggdb make -j8
rebuild_all
Switch to:
CFLAGS=”-O2 -ggdb” make -j8
rebuild_all
And modify -j8 to better reflect the number of CPUs + a little more on your computer. I will change the manual.
If this does NOT solve the problem on your computer, let use know and thank you in advance. gg/Phyllis
