Polygonius Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I am not sure - but i have the FEELING that #103 is slower than the versions before? I can not recognize any big difference with metal on or not. I have a group of 8 blurrs: With metal it takes round 12 seconds that the activity monitor is going to near zero, after "visible" this, without metal it takes round 15 seconds. I had not testest with former builds, but i MEAN all was much faster? Is that possible? OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!

Staff Chris B Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hey Polygonius, I haven't noticed a difference. If you have a file and some specific tasks you'd like me to test I'm happy to do so. I have access to previous builds so this isn't a problem for me if you'd like me to look into it.

Polygonius Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks Chris. File contains 2 groups: 1 group with 8 gaussian blur and another group with 8 bilateral blurr. Well, no real situation, but better for demonstration! The 8 gaussians comes in 2,3 secondes COMPLETE (but will shrink the layer, with or without "take transparency"... (maybe another bug?), but the 8 bilateral blurr take a very long time to compute complete. Also: The preview / current-view-size seems to be a VERY VERY important factor how long it takes, till the activity monitor come near zero. AND: if i activate/deactivate the group with a very small view and than eg. switch to c,d+4 it SEEMS to take LESS time than eg. in cmd+1 view from the beginning. Especially on my 27" retina. Approximately you have better tools for messure it! But keep this in mind - is it in the end not the algorithm/compute filesize/dpi itself, as just the "preview"?????

Staff Chris B Posted December 4, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hey Polygonius, Thanks for the file. I opened it in build 97, 98 and 103 and occasionally I was seeing the different builds give me different timings but nothing significant. The averages all worked out about the same. The Bilateral blurs do seem to take a good 11 seconds or so on my 2017 MacBook Pro when I'm at 100%. The more I'm zoomed in, the longer it takes and I also noticed the Navigator Panel struggles to update. I'm happy to poke this more and see what can be improved. Thank you Polygonius 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted December 4, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 4, 2018 Hi, Bilateral (and Median) are not GPU accelerated - this probably explains the difference in apparent performance. Thanks, A Polygonius and Chris B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
