Tremendous slowdown WinVice in "warp" mode.
Recently I installed a new nightly build of WinVice from Pokefinder, and when debugging my demo I noticed a tremendous slowdown in warp mode, going from 1300% to about 480%.
I've been backtracking the nightly builds to see which release introduced the slowdown, and it appears to have been introduced somewhere between WinVICE-2.4.29-x86-r31566 and WinVICE-2.4.29-x86-r31580.
I am not sure whether this is a bug or the slowdown is an effect of having something new implemented that requires a lot more processing power, but I've seen it happen on 3 different PC's (all running Windows 10) in both x64.exe and x64sc.exe.
Has anyone else noticed this slowdown?

Yes, getting slower warp mode every time it gets updated.
about 1500% in x64, X64sc less than 800%. It got 4000% (7000% with $d011=0) on this same pc on older versions =) |

Quite a dramatic difference considering both builds are in the same year and within a few months of each other. Did you check that all settings on both versions are the same? |

especially check if SID and Drive emulation settings are really the same |

I unpacked each version to a different directory and ran it without changing any default settings.
Another thing I noticed is that with 31580 the warp speed is fairly constant (between 440%-480%), regardless of demo effect. When I run the same on 31566 it jumps between 1300%-2200%, depending which effect is executed (a simple fadein/fadeout line runs at 2000%).
I've taken a look at SID and Drive emulator settings, both are the same.
@Algorithm: 1 day difference ;) |

Aaahhhh, thanks!
Note to self: Don't check if settings are the same by saving the configuration settings and doing a diff over them. :P |
