making the AI even weaker is not a good idea in my opinion, better make spawns/resource distribution over the universe more even

I've found i can not lose on maniacal default games (unless you spawn very unluckily) - invest in research enhancers first, then industry, population and defense - build gas giant generators in every system its possible and 1 solar generator in a white star system, you also only need 1 factory per e...

I guess the wining condition should be capture all enemy faction planets and units,
independent non empires are usually no threat

- late game stage play against bots is kinda boring it becomes a drag to manage the units even with a default small 150 system universe, and all the while you feel you already won and it cant escape you perhaps some balancing shoudl be doen there (dunno what) I do see bots build all the advanced wea...

another profiler is sysprof

thanks for the merge, my performance doubled from 10 fps to 20

The compile isn't a debug build as far as I can tell, it makes stripped optimized binaries -O3/-O2 -s when observing the cmake buildprocess when its building. The AI threads do DEBUG loglevel logging when it's running, leading to quite large logfiles, seen them at 40MB a piece (however this has litt...

for starmap

(btw this image uploader crashes the session/forum often)

cpu not maximal, gpu not maximal, yet still low fps, whats causing this?


export GALLIUM_HUD=GPU-load,cpu0+cpu1+cpu2+cpu3
./freeorion

this was while displaying the techtree, when viewing the starmap it drops back to 50% cpu load

6 AI 150 systems, more or less default

Resizing windows (ie the fleet list) is also extremely slow, it makes the program hang and stutter at 1 fps for a while.

I tried profiling the program, but can't find a clear obvious place in the code that causes it, but relatively alot of time was spent in strcmp_sse2

I think the general slowness, even when not doing anything, is caused by cpu load, not GPU load. Text rendering seems slow, when testing it in the researchtree, zoom out till text is gone ; fps rises , zoom slightly back in till text appears ; 75% fps hit from 50 to 10 fps All the while the Graphics...

thanks I noticed it

I agree, space should feel vast, it plays almost no role now in my games against AI
