RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - Durandle - 06-03-2014
The results are in, and they don't make much sense, given the comments of what was committed around the time things apparently got slow for me.
722 and less = Full Speed
732 and more = SLOW
Given 732 is "Expand the Android app's about menu to include additional info about a user's device." -- EDIT: Just realised there are of course *other* commits than the one mentioned on the build, I should know better!
I will note the building order/numbering does get a bit messy around there, so its possible my results are off due to that, I honestly don't know. The 722 I used was "OGL: remove version check for buffer_storage on windows".
-- My full notes for reference ---
683 = FAST
700 = FAST
722 = FAST
732 = SLOW
741 = SLOW
746 = SLOW
752 = CRASH
754 = SLOW
758 = SLOW
765 = SLOW
780 = SLOW
800 = SLOW
1040 = SLOW

If you posted git revision hashes (about dialog!) instead of the dumb version numbers, there wouldn't be this ridiculous ambiguity that you noticed yourself.
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - Durandle - 06-03-2014
I can't check over them now, but if you need me to, I will tomorrow
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - JMC47 - 06-03-2014
I know this is crazy, but I've seen 4xx and 5xx NVIDIA users having problems with Dolphin being much slower than it should be. Is it possible that BufferStorage isn't being detected properly on those video cards?
Disable the Vertex Streaming Hack in the last version that has it. If performance is absolutely identical, then the problem is probably something to do with BufferStorage not being detected or used.
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - Durandle - 06-03-2014
Any idea what revision I'll need to look at? I assume the last one I get good speed in. Where do I find the "Vertex Streaming Hack" option because I can't see it anywhere.

RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - Durandle - 06-10-2014
Whatever was causing the slowdown is fixed in the very latest nightly build. The nightly build I tried a week or so ago suffered the same slowdown as all those others, so a recent change has solved the issues, so great
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - JMC47 - 06-10-2014
Yeah, thanks to your report they were able to narrow it down. Thanks.
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - Xtreme2damax - 06-10-2014
Alright so what was it caused by and what commit fixed it? Did it affect the DX11 backend, OGL backend or both and/or certain hardware?
RE: Massive performance drop in recent builds - JMC47 - 06-10-2014
OGL backend for Geforce 400 and 500 series cards. Was about a 30% performance loss due to buffer storage not being utilized for some reason that escapes me.
