Hi all,
I was wondering why the "Iterations between screen outputs" setting
was defaultly set on 100, and I thought it was beacuse each screen
output takes precious CPU time.
But when I changed it from 100 i/o (usually around 0.430 sec/iter) to
10 i/o, nothing really slowed down - the time was still between 0.430
and 0.431 s/i.
So I boldly went where no man has gone before ;) and changed it to 1
i/o... and the times still stayed between 0.429 and 0.431 s/i.
The question is, how much of the CPU's power is consumed by screen
outputs?
If it is really around 0.001 s/i (in 0.430 s/i neighbourhood), I'll
leave mine at 10 i/o, so I can see it's alive. ;)
Thanks for your time,
