Performance when multitasking

[tperry2x]

So, managed to find an older Macbook Air, running OSX 10.11. This is a generic, fresh 10.11 install.
The tests match mine on my 10.11 desktop.

So, I think the performance lag is specific to OSX 10.11 in Livecode. Not sure what causes it. All other programs are butter-smooth. No high CPU use in other programs, so it's a bit of a mystery.

For anyone still following this, I solved the issues I was having.
I used lockscreen (thank you bogs - I know what you mean now), and instead of using multiple 'sends' to various buttons, I moved all the scripts inside the card. Previously I was trying to send the handlers to various card objects continuously.

I did a bit of googling about beam sync under OSX. Turning it off on OSX 10.11 has made such a drastic difference. So much so, that there was nothing I could do to slow down the original stack I'd made.

So, I thought what can I do to actually slow this down?
Here's version 2 of the stack and it still doesn't get too choppy with all the effects on.


Hope it's helpful to someone for testing purposes.

But yeah, beam sync was the biggest difference. My whole OS feels quicker.

Tee hee

For what it is worth, Jacque was the first one to really drill that into me, so don't feel all alone out there.
