Graphics performance much better in v3,- even in windows!
So i put the beta on the studio computer today as I figure it's not going to do anything too mad from now on and it was a nice surprise to discover I can have "show window contents whilst dragging" enabled now and not get crackling when moving windows around!
wooohooo!
it's much prettier and I dunno whether this was sorted ages ago 'cos like I say it's only just been put on the studio computer.
Nice
before I had to run with basic Xp look (win2k theme) and with none of the effect enabled to not get crackling when working.
Kind regards
Dave Rich

Forgive me if this has been mentioned before, but have you tried moving your soundcard to a different slot (if it's PCI), or lowering graphics acceleration? It sounds very much like a shared IRQ issue...you could also possibly solve the problem by just changing to a new video card - a DAW wouldn't need any better than a $30 ATI from New Egg...

There's no irq sharing at all.
The soundcard is a firewire device off a pci firewire card,- with texas instruments chipset.
See my other thread

FWIW....
I think that the graphics rendering (or whatever it is actually called) is a bit "tighter" in V3 betas... I like that alot.

If I recall correctly, at some point those optimizations got even into the 2.5x. That's one of those things that the Cockos ironed out working on v3 alphas and kindly transferred to v2 stable releases.

Some parts look smooth in v3 and that is enjoyable. Other parts lag a lot. For example, a busy mixer with 10s of tracks, doesn't even get the chance to redraw when I scroll (the mixer) left+right. Also, and this is me being spoiled even more, I'd love to see 100% smooth scroll/screen update in the arrangement view. It updates in steps instead of a fluid realtime motion.
Then again, I used to make music on tiny LCD screens and didn't complain. But we go with the times I guess.

Me too and I'd add smoother zoom in/out, right now at some point reaper seems to have a hard time when zooming in.

ok found the source of the crackles.
if i disabled anticipative and synchronous multiprocessing the crackles disappear!
sorted
not sure what performance hit that has, but i'd rather live without the crackles.
EDIT-
discovered my processor scheduling was set to normal, and not highest which is recommended.
I've sorted that and so far it seems to be ok!
Kind regards
Dave Rich
