As a workaround for the above issue, and as I don't have any role in management of the forum I took over admin of the osg-users googlegroups mirror and enable it's use as a forum, though as the forum came backonline I didn't announce it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/osg-users So perhaps it's time to just default to the googlegroup. > The link to the mailing list failed some time ago. > > In any case.... > > I have noticed a serious performance regression when moving to 3.6.3 from > 3.4.0 > > It's become such an issue for me, such that I had to revert to 3.4.0. > > The problem starts with Geometry::addPrimitiveSet > > ..... > > I can eventually work around the issue, by doing my work to coalesce > PrimitiveSets , but might be a FYI for some users. > Just how many PrimitiveSet are you using? It has to be pretty extreme to cause performance issues when creating the scene. My guess is that this slow down in creating the model is could be thought of as a canary in the coal mine. OpenGL and modern hardware really don't like being passed primitive data in small chunks, it's a huge performance bottleneck having large number of small bottlenecks. You will for sure get better performance when creating and rendering your scene once you starting using a small number of primitive sets with a large number of primitives. Robert.
