Subject: Truespace Optimization 2005-06-20 - By Matt Geier

Running in Wire and Solid Mode are the fastest in comparison to the other modes.
I give Wire Frame a 10 - This runs excellent, which would be expected. There
is no delay period between actions. (Rotation of object, object selection, tool
selection, ect ect ..)
I give Transparent Outline a 2 - This runs the worst, with at least a 3 to 4
second period between actions. (Rotation of object, object selection, tool
selection, ect ect ..)
I give Solid Outline a 5 - This runs better then transparent outline, with just
a 1 to 1.5 second delay between actions. (Rotation of object, object selection,
tool selection, ect ect ..)
I give Transparent a 3 - This runs better then transparent outline but worse
then solid outline, with about a 2 second delay between actions. (Rotation of
object, object selection, tool selection, ect ect ..)
I give Solid an 6 or 7 - This runs better then the previous outlines, but worse
then wireframe (which would be expected anyhow), with about a .5 to a 1 second
delay between actions. (Rotation of object, object selection, tool selection,
ect ect ..)
Turning off Procedural Texturing didn't seem to do much in either of the modes.
At least I don't see a difference.
I even go as far as adjusting the transparency detail and still no change in my
performance.
I am simply running about 4 or 5, 6 max applications (IE, Outlook, Yahoo IM,
and then TS.) plus firewall apps whcih I cannot turn off.
This should not be performing this badly, I wouldn't think anyway.
Without TS I am using about 4% of my CPU. With TS going and the above mentioned
apps. TS being as intensive as it is, I use about 100% CPU when doing actions
inside TS.
Here's another funny thing.
My home system specs
O/S - Windows XP
CPU - 1.5 GHz Intel Pentium 4
TOTAL MEM - 1024 MB
DIRECT X Ver. - 9
GFX CARD - ATI RADEON 9800 Pro 128MB
I run this scene, and I still get the jerky choppy problem on any mode except
wireframe, which is what I am experiencing here.
Still looking for suggestions.
Thanks,

I seem to be having some kind of performance problem with TS. Running in solid
mode seems to perform jerky, probably like a 6 on the scale. Running in solid
outline is worse. Running in either of the transparent modes is next to
impossible. I only have 6 complete objects on the screen, my head being the big
one. I've turned all of my SDS objects off, and the improvement is only
slightly, maybe a 1 out of 10. I wonder if there is some kind of cache file?
Perhaps I need to increase my virtual memory or something. Any help would be
good. I don't think it's supposed to get as choppy as it is. I've searched the
forums and read stuff in the manual, not really finding anything useful at this
point. I am more then likely looking for the wrong thing, so I wanted to go
ahead and ping everyone to see what you think.
