Compiling speed #96

Closed sldx closed 9 years ago

sldx commented 9 years ago

I notice a big difference in speed for running a sketch in native Processing (3) and Sublime. It's probabily more than double.

For example, a certain sketch takes about 2 seconds to launch from Processing and 5 from Sublime, so about 2.5x.

Any idea why and if it's possible to speed up?

I know what you mean. Sublime's build is a little slower than the Processing IDE, although my speeds in both Processing and Sublime are both faster than the numbers you mention. This is system-dependent. There's nothing we can do about this.

For example, you'll probably find that running your sketch with processing-sublime is just as "slow" as building with Sublime.
