Benchmark effect of minecraftEndEvalNoMovement #923

Closed schrum2 closed 1 year ago

schrum2 commented 1 year ago

minecraftEndEvalNoMovement is set to true by default. The assumption is that terminating evaluation of certain machines early will save time. However, actually confirming lack of movement requires a lot of extra calculation. There seems to be a slim possibility that having this setting on actually slows things down.

After figuring out whether clearing with glass is significantly slower ( #922 ), add a new benchmarking batch file where minecraftEndEvalNoMovement is set to false and test that.

Run times seem fast enough from not clearing with glass, and we're running out of time, so I'm just going to cancel this issue.
