[Opensim-dev] llSetTimerEvent accuracy

[Jeff Kelley]

I always thought that llSetTimerEvent was grossly inaccurate when 
working with fast timer (~ 0.1s) and this opinion is shared among 
scripters.

That's only true on MONO.

I recently had a try on Windows. The difference is shocking.


Typical Linux figures :

[13:49] Primitive: 99.913000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.266000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.483000
[13:49] Primitive: 99.974000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.312000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.013000
[13:49] Primitive: 134.192000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.383000
[13:49] Primitive: 100.304000

Admit it, that's just crap.


Windows :

[13:44] Primitive: 100.000200
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000100
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000100
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000200
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000100
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000200
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000100
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000100
[13:44] Primitive: 100.000200

That's a near-perfect clock.


Times in milliseconds.
MinTimerInterval = 0.05

Is there anything we can do to make MONO less crappy?
