| Summary | 0006264: Performance regression from 104.0.1-1289-gfd5619c to 104.0.1-1296-gfc8c95e maintenance | ||||||||
| Description | Players reported a recent increase in performance issues. I am unable to reproduce the issue so far, but the three benchmarks that players have submitted so far all show a significant issue. The most recent issue narrows down the problem to between 104.0.1-1289-gfd5619c to 104.0.1-1296-gfc8c95e. On the next iteration I can have people benchmark inside this range. The benchmark is the same as the one I created for the Lua GC issue that occurred around 104.0.1-300. The most recent benchmark shows a 35% increase in time between widget:Updates so I figured I may as well make the ticket now. I'll add more data to the sheet as it comes in. The sheet also includes the graphics information in the last column. | ||||||||

Of this given range, 1292 seems the best candidate because extra mutexes were added to the VFS. ZK ships with VFSCacheArchiveFiles=0, so the impact of these (rather necessary) locks will be felt more depending on ingame VFS access patterns and HDD read performance. |

Should VFSCacheArchiveFiles not be set to 0? My only information about the setting is from https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=6163. |

VFSCacheArchiveFiles primarily exists to reduce Spring's memory footprint (by coincidence it also happened to prove useful for isolating 0006163), and should have minimal runtime impact with a fast SSD and decently sized operating system disk cache. You usually want to set this to 0, but apparently there are still systems which violate these conditions in 2019 so it can't be universally applied. |

The benchmarks from ksaar indicate that 1292 is fine and 1296 contains the issue. |

1294 is fine so the issue is introduced in these two commits: - https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/55407fb8eaafbe94e5267bf29c02f25ac2843e39 - https://github.com/spring/spring/commit/fc8c95ee710764ccd3cecfc1a41c8d3207e49d27 |

Please test 1322-gd3b03b5 when it arrives. |
|
Google_Frog (reporter) 2019-07-26 08:05 |
1322-gd3b03b5 seems to work. I'll comment if further benchmarking finds a smaller issue. |
|
Google_Frog (reporter) 2019-07-27 17:00 |
We've been using 1322-gd3b03b5 for two days and further data indicates that its performance is the same as 1294. I think this can be closed. |

Kloot (developer) 2019-07-27 23:25 |
Thanks, though I'll promote 1325-g91bf006 (which includes another memory optimization for frequent reloading) as the version to sit on. |
