In release builds, that is a no-op...so measuring debug builds isn't terribly meaningful. I landed a few fixes in master that should help out a little...the front-end time is a lot more reasonable now. FS register allocation is still horridly slow, however. This is because of our stupid spilling loop. It takes 132 iterations through the RA loop before it succeeds. We can totally fix that, we just haven't made it a priority yet...most shaders don't trip up this pathological case.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
