SC Engineering, From my testing so far in 2873, I cannot find the sweet spot yet of getting at least as good of chart update speed and UI responsiveness as OS timers using different combinations of chart update interval and minimum delay between chart updates. It's looking like I might be able to find that sweet spot if I could slightly increase (or decrease) the minimum delay between chart updates such as to 1.1ms or 1.2ms. If I increase it to 2ms, that seems to be huge in terms of effective delay as it significantly slows down my chart updates. And note that I am also increasing the chart update interval itself to say 50ms. Right now with 50ms chart update interval and 1ms minimum delay, UI responsiveness is pretty bad but effective chart update speed is just as fast as I get when using OS timers. If I go to 100ms chart update speed with 1ms minimum delay, there is a noticeable degradation in effective chart update speed but UI responsiveness ok (not great but useable). Thank you, |
