Just chipping in to say that I now see this as well, and it's a weird and interesting issue. First, I am only now seeing it for the first time after upgrading to 10.6; under 10.5, I never saw this at all. So I'm curious whether anyone is also seeing this under 10.5 or whether it's some regression that has happened with cider for Snow Leopard.
It's hard to pin down exactly what's going on, might have to try doing some profiling via Shark later (although shame on CCP if they aren't doing that anyway). I have an 8-core Mac Pro, plenty of RAM. With EVE running under 10.6 it appears to permanently peg one of the CPUs, although the remaining cores are fine. It's not sucking up much memory at all, so there's no issue with thrashing, and with plenty of free CPU power it's not immediately obvious without profiling and such what's going on. There has to be something it's doing to upset WindowServer, like some runaway constant polling, because the system GUI response becomes insanely sluggish very fast and yet the usual issue of resource consumption does not exist. EVE itself seems perfectly responsive.
CCP definitely needs to get this fixed, however.

Edited by: Null 0x0000 on 21/03/2010 07:13:32 I found that if I run in Windowed mode, I can command+tab to any other application with no problems. But when it's fullscreen and minimized the performance issues are there.

I have similar problems with Wine, but to a lesser extent. It seems to happen whenever X11/XQuartz opens (or is just running).
I'd suspect that whatever X11 interface is buried in Cider (it's Wine at heart for the most part) causes the same issue, so it might not be something Transgaming can actually fix.
XQuartz and EVE running together is ludicrously laggy as well :)

Opening up the map screen definitely worked for me

Edited by: Heavy MG on 23/04/2010 17:56:21 I can confirm the issue as well. Switching to map seems to resolve it. One interesting thing to note is that when in windowed mode, if EVE is the first window behind any other application window, the lag/stutter is minimal. Add a second or third window on top of the EVE window and the system becomes virtually unusable.
This is on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and a 2.66 Quad Core Xeon Mac Pro tower with the Geforce GT 120 card 512MB ram.

I have noticed this issue on my iMac 24" (OS 10.6.3). Oddly, it only seems to occur when the Eve window is completely blocked by another window (or windows). I usually run two Eve clients in windowed mode, one window partially hidden by another, plus the usual array of web/email/whatever, too. As long as at least part of both Eve windows is visible, there are no major slowdowns. As soon as an Eve window is completely covered by another window(s), it's slowmaggeddon. Moving the obscuring window so part of the Eve window is visible again removes the slowdown. It's not a problem, since I know the workaround, but it's interesting. I also see the issue with a single client in windowed mode. I guess the Eve client acts out against other programs if it can't be seen--like a 3-year-old, always has to be center of attention! |
