This version is compiling a single 1 mln triangles object for 20 seconds. Moving it adds another 20 seconds. This version is completely useless.

Hi J.C,

Could you please give a bit more details or share me a demo for debugging? I've built some test cases but there are no significant performance losses compared with previous 16.x.

Cheers,

Sure, here it is. Similar compiling time is in 16.2
The same scene exported to ORBX file compiles in Standalone app in less than a second.

This happens only with this particular scene. The object was subdivided before and modifier was applied. Other compile in normal time.

Hi J.C,

It seems that the sphere is applied with level 2 OpenSubDiv, which will lead to an extra triangle generation.
Please check the final render result, it contains around 16 million triangles while the original sphere has only 1 million. Therefore about 15 million triangles are generated on the fly, which is quite time consuming.

Regarding the orbx, it renders only 1 million triangles without generating the opensubdiv triangles. To render with subdivision triangles, you can change the subdivision level from 0 to 2 in the "geometry.abc" setting. Then standalone will take times to compile extra triangles too.

Cheers,
DrawFun

Thanks DrawFun for pointing this out! This was a false alarm, Sorry for that.
I should have checked the triangles count number in rendered viewport not in Blender viewport. Lesson learned :)
