very poor performance on iOS :(

[Tobias Bley]

Hi Richard and Niklas,

here are the results of pulseLogger for a simple click of a ToggleButton in a StackPane:

PULSE: 3 [12259ms:306ms]
T1 (1 +27ms): CSS Pass
T1 (28 +0ms): Layout Pass
T1 (28 +0ms): Waiting for previous rendering
T1 (29 +0ms): Copy state to render graph
T7 (56 +1ms): Dirty Opts Computed
T7 (60 +241ms): Painted
Counters:
	Nodes rendered: 3
	Nodes visited during render: 3


So how can we interpret these results?

Best,
Tobi

Virtually nothing has been done yet to optimize things for speed. So my guess is that you will find that a lot of time is spent in RoboVM code. Also, AFAIU the Oracle guys have run this on iOS internally and have seen decent performance (can someone confirm?). That would also suggest that RoboVM is the problem at the moment.

If you make a little app with just one toggle button and run it on iPhone4 (not simulator), the JavaFX rendering is very slow. So the button press is painted with a really noticeable delay. I don’t understand this behavior because I thought JavaFX rendering is very good and optimized using hardware accelerated OpenGL code???
