It might be that I stand corrected for the behaviour of lock / unlock
screen.
But then I also stand puzzled on the effect it has between engines.
Same code which redrew the screen within 2.5 seconds on the 5.x series
took 11 secs in 8/9. After debugging libraries. Being used to make
sure that lock screens no longer nested brought this down to 1.5
seconds. Rest of the code left unchanged! I really do not get it. That
said, I am pretty happy with the fact. I only wish I would have
found/tried this earlier.
I wonder if this is combination of one too many unlock screens (so the
screen wasn't actually locked for the whole process you timed); and
having a Retina screen...
If so, in 5.x the screen was probably being redrawn when you didn't
intend also, but it was rendering 1/4 of the number of pixels so took
1/4 of the time or thereabouts (5.x would have been rendering to a 1/4
size buffer which was then upscaled by the OS to full-resolution Retina;
it was only 6.x+ which started to render to a full-retina resolution
window buffer on retina displays).
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
