Bgu playerlist presents a large chili load

[beherith]

I tested with 8 bots, and found that bgu playerlist represents around 3ms load per draw frame.

lua load (i.e. visible in widget profiler) or gfx card load (i.e. not visible in widget profiler)?

also, was this before widget:GameStart? It has to do some polling for faction/substitutes, but once the game has started its Update load drops.

There is nothing actually wrong here - but it has to poll alot of information for updates and the rate needs to be set sensibly. So much info is involved that there has to be polling for at least some of it, although it does do a targeted update for the important cases.

It was every 0.2 secs, now its every 1 sec.

Its unfortunately not caused by the widget updates itself. It just spawns so many controls it sends chili into a deathspiral:D

To reproduce, launch with this script (8 Shards on DSD with BAR $Version), enable widget profiler, watch frame rate and chili load in profiler as you activate and deactivate playerlist.

8 shards on DSD (drag onto spring.exe to launch)
