Performance Tips
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Performance tips for software rendering:
|
|
|
|
#. Turn off smooth shading when you don't need it (glShadeModel)
|
|
#. Turn off depth buffering when you don't need it.
|
|
#. Turn off dithering when not needed.
|
|
#. Use double buffering as it's often faster than single buffering
|
|
#. Compile in the X Shared Memory extension option if it's supported on
|
|
your system by adding -DSHM to CFLAGS and -lXext to XLIBS for your
|
|
system in the Make-config file.
|
|
#. Recompile Mesa with more optimization if possible.
|
|
#. Try to maximize the amount of drawing done between glBegin/glEnd
|
|
pairs.
|
|
#. Use the MESA_BACK_BUFFER variable to find best performance in double
|
|
buffered mode. (X users only)
|
|
#. Optimized polygon rasterizers are employed when: rendering into back
|
|
buffer which is an XImage RGB mode, not grayscale, not monochrome
|
|
depth buffering is GL_LESS, or disabled flat or smooth shading
|
|
dithered or non-dithered no other rasterization operations enabled
|
|
(blending, stencil, etc)
|
|
#. Optimized line drawing is employed when: rendering into back buffer
|
|
which is an XImage RGB mode, not grayscale, not monochrome depth
|
|
buffering is GL_LESS or disabled flat shading dithered or
|
|
non-dithered no other rasterization operations enabled (blending,
|
|
stencil, etc)
|
|
#. Textured polygons are fastest when: using a 3-component (RGB), 2-D
|
|
texture minification and magnification filters are GL_NEAREST texture
|
|
coordinate wrap modes for S and T are GL_REPEAT GL_DECAL environment
|
|
mode glHint( GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_FASTEST ) depth
|
|
buffering is GL_LESS or disabled
|
|
#. Lighting is fastest when: Two-sided lighting is disabled
|
|
GL_LIGHT_MODEL_LOCAL_VIEWER is false GL_COLOR_MATERIAL is disabled No
|
|
spot lights are used (all GL_SPOT_CUTOFFs are 180.0) No local lights
|
|
are used (all position W's are 0.0) All material and light
|
|
coefficients are >= zero
|
|
#. XFree86 users: if you want to use 24-bit color try starting your X
|
|
server in 32-bit per pixel mode for better performance. That is,
|
|
start your X server with startx -- -bpp 32 instead of startx -- -bpp
|
|
24
|
|
#. Try disabling dithering with the MESA_NO_DITHER environment variable.
|
|
If this environment variable is defined Mesa will disable dithering
|
|
and the command glEnable(GL_DITHER) will be ignored.
