I don't understand why transforming parts of shader compilation into asynchronous code isn't the right way to go. Async parts of compilation can potentially run on other CPU cores, maybe lowering those 2000ms down to 750ms. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
