Hi there,
I have now repeated the Chmutov test under WSL/Linux with a fresh cache
name, so this time I captured the actual initial calculation.
The result was:
implicit mesh:
3,096,000 vertices
1,032,000 triangles
mesh generation: 5.934 seconds
triangle rendering: 0.381 seconds
MetaPost total: 6.468 seconds
ConTeXt runtime: 6.294 seconds
Measured with /usr/bin/time -v, the complete command took:
wall-clock time: 6.35 seconds
maximum resident set size: 399,644 kB
CPU usage: 106%
exit status: 0
The log reports a z-buffer of 1184 × 1184 pixels with supersampling 2,
and about 594 MB of temporary memory cleaned up afterwards.
So the overall result on this Ryzen 5 5600 under WSL is almost identical
to your reported 6.277 seconds for the initial run.
Oh, so maybe this is more memory constraint than cpu.
See log file attached.
Thanks. I think I have to test the RPI 5 and Arduino Q next.
