Runtime Performance: Measurement
-
First: set up consistent, repeatable testing conditions
-
Simple: framerate once scene loaded
-
Browsers should supply instrumentation of at least framerate
-
Cosmo Player 2.0-2.1: =
-
Cosmo Player 1.0-1.1/SGI: setenv CP_DISPLAYSTATS 1
-
WorldView 2.0-2.1/MS VRML Browser: n/a
-
Less simple: Framerate when animations & scripts are running
-
HINT: Measure at the most complex locations in your world (save a viewpoint)
-
HINT: Measure during all animated viewpoint transitions
-
HINT: Walk away from preset viewpoints to catch missed "hot spots"
