    I’ve just downloaded Monkey2-v1.1.05b from itch, installed it and messing with the 3D examples (very cool!).

    But something I noticed was that my CPU worked harder when the application was minimized… for example when running the water demo I’ve increased the resolution to 1920×1080 (although the text reports 1920×1081 on screen) and the CPU usage is around 7%, but when I minimize the app it goes up to 14% and the temps of my CPU doubles too (from 25C to over 50C).

    This happens on the 2D examples too??

    Weird, same here! PBR demo runs at 1% CPU while showing, but 5-7% when minimised. Back to 1% when showing again.

    I do not know if this is related but I noticed on some laptops that the ted2go app uses a lot of resources(cpu) It takes a full core all the time. I can not remember if this was only with the development branch.

    This’ll be due to the deferred renderer ‘thrashing’ without any vsync – since it always renders to a texture, rendering never ‘fails’ the way it would if it was rendering to a window. Will fix.
