Has slider real time speed decreased over time?

Answered

Using GeoGebra Classic 5.0.627.0-d, I've noticed that it now takes roughly 15 seconds for an animated slider to cover its range at speed 1. Earlier constructions from 3 years go were based on a timing of 10 seconds to cover the same range at speed 1. What is the current intended time?

In constructions modeling simple Newtonian systems it is a "nice touch" to have the approximate time in the model correspond to a physical experiment.

Confirmed. :)

Let's ask the to the developers.

I've posted TimeSlider.ggb (also shown below and attached) that collects statistics on timer performance with slider min 0 max 1 inc 0.1 speed 1 which should nominally generate time update interrupts every second. Hit start, stop, wait a while, stats for results.

With Classic 5 I get average dt about 1.4, with Classic 6 about 1.04 and with the online app about 1.03.

What's different about Classic 5?

It should be around 10s (so online behaviour is correct)

Windows 10 gives the results shown above: 1.4 sec. Windows 7 is no longer supported. Can anyone shed some light on WHY performance is different with Classic 5 on Win 10?

2 different Win 10 pro systems (with I7 processor and 16GB memory, so no system limitations) give 1.4. An Apple MacBookPro with latest macOS 10.15.7 Classic 5 gives 1.05. Can anyone at least point me to the code used by Classic 5 for implementing the slider timer interrupts?

Try changing

   long compTime = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;

   double compTime = UtilFactory.getPrototype().getMillisecondTime() - startTime;

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not setup to compile. Is there any different between the Classic 5 and 6 timer handling (since the give different Win 10 performance on the same .ggb test file)?

No, the problem is that your computer is too fast I think 😆

In that case, how does Classic 6 slow down the computer enough such that the timer runs faster?

Thanks. V634 fixed the problem.
