consumes too much CPU when it should be idle

Beta 10b, compiled from source on Linux.
I rolled up a fighter, played for a bit, saved with Ctrl-S, then switched to a different "workspace" (is that the word? the things you can click on in the FvwmPager that make the screen jump to a different place). I noticed that a lot of CPU was being used by something unexpectedly, and ran 'top' and saw that t-engine was showing 80.6% CPU use and had consumed a total of 28:46.51 minutes of CPU by the time I stopped top.

Hummm
COntinuously not for a few tens of seconds while it was saving ?
Weird. Can you get me a full log ?

"The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 256 KiB." Meh. It's ~350kB bzipped.
Then you get to deal with my slow DSL upload:

Additional info: this is the "no music" tarball, and I didn't copy the music from an older version.

I'm not sure if it is using too much cpu, but beta 9 and now beta10b are both horribly lagged in every action and menu except for the music. It's also skipping commands. The game has gotten ery very very difficult to play because of this. I didn't have any slow down like this in the earlier versions of beta3/4/5/7. Also, saving and loading files takes minutes... Any ideas guys?
On an xp, beta 10b.

Thanls greg
Final Master: Uhhhhhh ??
It should be faster not slower ... hummm.
You do not by any chances press ctrl+alt+shit+p while playing ? (this runs the profiler which makes things SLOW).
Also if you run beta 7 today, is it slow or not ?
On what platform ?

I'm not sure how to do a log or where it's at. Also, I am running it with the profile online... I'll try it without being logged in.
I'll also back track a bit to see when the slowdown happens.

my .02, 10 works well on my desktop, but that's a dual core with 4gig of RAM, 32bit Ubuntu 10.04. I also run an older Thinkpad R40, that is a P4 with I think a gig of RAM. (also ubuntu 10.04) Beta9 ran at an acceptable rate, but something in 10 is making it lag pretty bad. I had to turn the sounds totally of because of the stutter, and the lag affects gameplay. Not a huge deal, but figured I would throw it out there when I saw this thread.

What does the game report as FPS in the log when idle ?
Is it slow always ? when moving ? when monsters are around ?

Here's a log where I hit a minute or so lag spike after casting phase door and then mana flow. The first tick of mana flow took a good while to kick over or maybe it was right after I drank the potion that it stalled.
But once the hiccup passed it was fine. Game wasn't saving at the time though this has caused quite a bit of lag on my machine (Windows XP).

13 FPS ?
Do you have some decent drivers for your video card installed ???
Re: consumes too much CPU when it should be idle

The drivers are fine, it's just an old box.
But yeah, I haven't noticed any drop in fps in the logs when the game slows down and overall it's running better then beta 9 except when it's saving.
Also it seems like new characters run better. Like when I first start a new character the game runs great. But after awhile it seems to have gotten slower.
*edit* Then again maybe I have a memory leak. I just rebooted after double checking that my drivers are up to date and the game's running really good right now.

Ah
Because yes beta10 should run FASTER than beta9 I spend a whole weekend optimizing it :/
As for lagging while saving yes, but then before you could not play at all
And trust me, on my core i7 930 it runs REAL neat

Beta 9 runs faster than beta 10b for me... Haven't checked CPU usage or anything but it definitely runs slower and not by a small amount!

............... I'll go hang myself :<
When doing what ? running around ?
Also madmonk try to compile it it like that:
Code: Select all
premake4 --lua=jitx86 --force32bits gmake
make clean all
Obviously you need the 32bit compat libs but most distributions should have them.
Tell me if it's better
