In trying to optimise my game I've timed various parts of my main game loop which runs at 68 milliseconds (about 20 fps which is too slow). I've found the bits I expected to take longest (NPC AI and player control and animation) took around 10 milliseconds but FASTSYNC takies a whopping 52 milliseconds!
Does it take that long to draw all my objects to screen (85k polys) or it the instruction waiting for some reason? If the former I will have to only sync my screen every few cycles - not the ideal solution.
I've tried hiding objects not drawn to screen (if object in screen show else hide) without any real change in main loop timing.
any clues chaps?
