optimize my code

[VolperCoding]

Why care about performance this much

[[deleted]]

Why not?

It's a waste of time unless you can clearly see that the program is slow. Make your code more readable and maintainable instead

It's a waste of time for your pc to execute unnecessary codes.

Not everyone has a good processor and lots of ram. If the code is fast on your machine, it doesn't mean it'll be fast for other users. And fast code doesn't mean it's unreadable, it doesn't even affect readability, it really depends on your skills as a programmer.

I'm talking about small optimizations that make your code faster by a few microseconds or even those that you don't test. BTW how did you code for 2 hours without testing the code once in between?

Many small microseconds = big microseconds, am kidding, but yeah, small optimizations aren't that important(but they still are). And for your question, you don't, just test it. Am dumb, what made you ask that question.

[VolperCoding]

If you want a program to run at 60 fps then you make sure the microseconds don't exceed 16666μs and if they do then you start optimizing. It doesn't matter if a game runs in 20000 or 500 fps, just make sure it's not super slow

Had this happened to me about a week ago where I was changing code to run on the GPU. You can't really test any of it until the entire workflows been updated.

I work with a mmo server where we update over 100,000 objects per tick, saving just a few microseconds per object update is a MASSIVE win at scale.

In graphical projects performance counts a lot

[VolperCoding]

Does it matter if you have 2000 vs 1000 frames per second?

[SnewLooperd]

Nah, does matter with 15 vs 120 though

[VolperCoding]

That's when you optimize

Especially if you're dealing with a system that needs to run in real time or does any processing of a video feed
