Erik, I would like to see an option to disable sound at all.
Did you know that the sound system eats up to 30% of CPU time, depending on hardware? This even with --disable-sound on the command line. I found it while profiling fgfs on my eeepc with ubuntu, which is largely affected because of its low end hardware. Enabling OpenAL starts a thread which is constantly eating up CPU cycles. 30% of CPU. (pulseaudio _is_ disabled BTW) [ I was able to improve FPS rate from 1 FPS to 15 FPS with disabling OpenAL altogether and further quirks. But fgfs still is barely useable on the eeepc ] Greetings, Olaf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
