As I understand it, if you limit the framerate, you limit the slots the pager has to compile objects, as compilation is done in the draw thread, between two frames. I tried to give more time and allow the compilation of more objects between two frames by calling setMinimumTimeAvailableForGLCompileAndDeletePerFrame and setMaximumNumOfObjectsToCompilePerFrame on the pager and on the renderer but for me it makes no difference (there is no problem for me, even in the Paris area ). That's why I built a Windows binary to allow people with the problem to test the possible solution.
