Hiding items
« on: September 18, 2011, 06:20:42 pm »
I chose to Hide a bunch of litter around my fortress, and it actually seemded to speed up FPS. Is this a real thing, or am I the victim of a fluke spike in efficiency?

All that flashing seems to make a dent in graphics framerate.  I'm not surprised.  Depending on your computer, graphics can be a significant framerate cost.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.

DF runs on one thread, so whatever is using resources is going to use all resources.  Items seem to have a "hierarchy" of sorts to determine what gets displayed and what is stacked invisibly.  This, among other things, may cause it to drag slightly during high-maintenance periods.
