Slow canvas UI (with multiple elements)

Grasshopper GH for Mac
51

@curtisw, @dan thanks a lot for your effort guys! You are amazing.

I tried out the newest improvements and did some comparisons myself.
6.29.20239.15172 vs. 7.0.20266.16016 running on macOS 10.15.6

Here is my experience:

  1. Canvas frame rate seems to have increased about 2x (This was measured by video recording the two versions and counting frames). And one can really feel the difference, when zooming and panning around!

  2. The speed of resizing empty GH windows has increased significantly as well, being around 5x faster (from around 0.6fps to around 3.5fps)

  3. Next I compared those improvements to the current Windows version. GH in Windows is about 3-3.7x faster.
    Furthermore, resizing GH in Windows works in an instant. Actually faster than resizing the Explorer window, which is very funny.

You guys made some great progress here. Overall GH frame rate has gone from being about 6-7.4x slower to only being 3-3.7x slower, which is great!
However, as can be seen, some improvements still have to be made. Please let me know if I can be of any help!

Best wishes,

Rudi
