Ah yes, that has got it going!
I like how the animation goes into the Cull thread, that really helps even things out.
I am still getting some sort of deadlock in one of the levels in the game that is not happening in the other level I tested so I guess I can sort out what is causing that by the difference in the levels. Is there an easier way to find out what is causing the lock?
I thought you might be interested in the performance numbers:
Non-threaded build: 40-45 fps
Threaded build WITHOUT threading-model set: 30ish fps
Threaded build WITH threading-model set: 55-65 fps
Supposing I wanted to get the best speed on a single core or multiple cores, would I need two builds of Panda (threaded and non-threaded)?
