Periodic FPS drops and CPU spikes every ~25 seconds

Hello,

I’m experiencing performance issues after making seemingly minor changes to a network from the snippets. (DMX Fixture)

Problem:

  • Periodic FPS drops occurring approximately every 25 seconds

  • CPU cook time spikes significantly during these drops (Children CPU Cook Time jumps to 1.315 sec)

t was changed from the original snippet:

  • Grid resolution changed to 7×101×7 (and rotated 90 degrees)

  • Replaced Noise with Sphere node

The modified network actually has fewer points than the original example, yet I’m getting these regular performance hits that weren’t present before. The original snippet ran smoothly without these periodic spikes.

* Additional request regarding DMX Out node:

I would also like to request that when adding a DMX Out node, the broadcast address should not be set by default, as this is unsafe in cases where there are DMX hoists or other equipment on the network. Broadcast can accidentally send commands to all devices on the network, which could lead to unintended consequences.

Hi @FRISSON.PY,

thanks for reporting this. In the current official, the DMX Out operators have a performance bug that will be fixed in the next release.

Thank you also for flagging the broadcast concern, we will take this into consideration.

cheers
Markus
