Cocoa Graphics Very Slow

(1/1)

Josh:
Hi
Hope their is a fix for this.
After doing some testing; with placing images from an timagelist on a panel, the Cocoa seems to be 10% as fast as carbon, or carbon is 900% faster than cocoa.
I have created a vid to demonstrate the problem.

Anyone else experiencing this slowness in cocoa?

I will create a simple test version and upload that does not require any 3rd party components.

ps You can also see in the video; a difference in the background blue color.

I'm curious if you don't use TImageList but instead TBitmap or something like that directly if it would be better.

Also instead of TPanel, try TCustomControl.

I have a motion graphics app with Cocoa and the speed was OK, but I use TBitmap + TCustomControl.

If changing to TBitmap+TcustomControl doesn't work, then this will be very challanging to fix. Cocoa drawing APIs are pretty crappy, so a lot of data copying operations are needed.

Hi felipemdc.

I have not tried that, but have reported the issue in bugtracker, and have included a zipped version of the project; with an additional video link; that demonstrates the problem even better and also demos the problem with font rendering.

Hopefully someone will look at the bugtracker and it will get assigned.
