Question #191167 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/191167
Jacob Dorman posted a new comment: I've duplicated the issue in a Sikuli project. In my original program, I had 2 threads during many operations, and got Sikuli command lag. In this test program I used 3-4 observers before duplicating my results very noticeably. The program itself simply has 1 dummy pattern that is looked for by 4 observers. There's an observer for every quadrant of the screen (in graph speak). The program highlights each quadrant, and then begins looking for the dummy pattern. In the almost impossible chance that it finds the pattern (it's pretty random, and 1.00 similarity), the event just passes. There's an event for each observer to more accurately represent observer usage. In my tests, having multiple events for the observers instead of just one event seems to slow the mouse down even more, but that may not be typical. While the 4 observers observe, the main thread moves the mouse in a rectangle 3 times to test the responsiveness. After completing 3 rectangles, the observers are stopped, and the mouse makes another 3 rectangles to show the difference in responsiveness. On my machine, the main thread executes so slowly at times that click/type commands can fail to work properly.
