This is interesting. I thought I'd do a very quick, rough test. I wrote
a fast script:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into tPath
put the milliseconds into tStart
repeat 100
set the filename of img "testImg" to ""
set the filename of img "testImg" to tPath
end repeat
put the milliseconds - tStart
end mouseUp
I realize there aren't many repetitions in the repeat loop, but I just
wanted to get an idea. Just as Wilhelm says, in MC it took between 139
and 142 milliseconds. In Rev, the same script took about 159-161
milliseconds. So that's consistent with what he reports.
Then I added a lockscreen:
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into tPath
lock screen
put the milliseconds into tStart
repeat 100
set the filename of img "testImg" to ""
set the filename of img "testImg" to tPath
end repeat
put the milliseconds - tStart
unlock screen
end mouseUp
The results were identical on both IDEs -- 45 milliseconds consistently
with no deviation.
I don't know what this means. The refresh rate of the screen appears to
vary, but I thought that was set in the engine. Locking the screen made
my test give identical results though.
I understand this is not conclusive. Just interesting.
