Hi, On my slow PPC system, debug build, the full 'cold' startup takes about 5 seconds, of which 3.5 is being spent in BPY_python_start()
On second and successive runs it's 1.2s for Python. Without netrender only saves 0.1 sec... total about 2.5 seconds. Interesting is that then quite some time goes to: (0.53s) reading startup.blend + open window (0.25s) read the preview.blend (0.12s) gpu_init (0.10s) font init Slow .blend reading here might be because of endian/32 bits converting. tested this, and indeed, saving startup myself saves 0.2 sec! -Ton- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation [email protected] www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands On 25 Feb, 2011, at 14:00, Campbell Barton wrote: > Today I took some time to look at how much slower blender 2.5x is then > 2.4x, and possible ways to make it faster. > > http://wiki.blender.org/index.php?title=User:Ideasman42/BlenderStartup > > Or just jump to conclusions > http://wiki.blender.org/index.php?title=User:Ideasman42/BlenderStartup#Conclusions > > One thing I found was disk speed on a 'cold start' to be the major > bottleneck, > Does anyone know some way we could asynchronously cache certain files > on load so when they are needed it wont lag so much? > > Other suggestions for improving startup time welcome! > > -- > - Campbell > _______________________________________________ > Bf-committers mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
