Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear starting time

[Curtis Olson]

I think to answer quickly, the version we distribute in binary form is built with MSVC and you are building with cygwin.  I think it has been reported in the past that cygwin has some serious IO efficiencies due to some sort of thread blocking.  Apparently this isn't a priority for the cygwin team, or perhaps only FlightGear tickles this problem in cygwin???  Other's may be able to provide more detailed (or more of a correct) explanation.

Regards,

Curt.

hey there,

 

i noticed that the version of flightgear i built from scratch using cygwin takes significantly more time to start up (about 4-5 minutes) than the one i installed using the exe-file from flightgear.org (about 1-2 minutes). is there any specific reason for this and are there any ways to accelerate the start of flightgear somehow?

 

i m using flightgear stable version 0.9.10 on windows xp and as before mentioned cygwin to compile. machine: pentium 4, 1 gb ram.

 

thanks,

 

best

thomas
