I have an issue with the OpenGL game I am developing that I am getting significant stuttering. I have put in a lot of debug code to try to see if it is something I am doing, but I haven't had any success at narrowing down what is going on. Stutters are between 80 msec and sometimes annoyingly as high as 200+ msec on my Droid.
When the game is running, I don't think I am creating any garbage, but when I am initializing a level, I am definitely creating some garbage. Just before starting the level, I give a hint to collect the garbage. This got rid of a lot of my problems, but there is still stuttering going on. I put in some code to instrument the amount of time that I spend in various parts of my main rendering loop. The stutters seem to happen randomly, each time in a different piece of code, so I am attributing them to something outside of my main loop code. I also am NOT seeing the GC running when these stutter happen on the catlog. Is this services running while my game is running? Is there a way to prevent this or at least mitigate the damage? I notice that sometimes the backlight on the menu keys (back/home/ search etc.) is going on and off in sync to some of these stutters. Why is this happening? I have orientation changes turned off and I don't think I understand what is going on with this backlight or why this would be related to the stutters. I have bumped my game up to MAX_PRIORITY and it seemed to help some, but did not get rid of this issue entirely. Can anyone help here or offer any suggestions on what could potentially be going wrong or with suggestions on how to debug this problem?
