Hi David!
Given that you look into the PSP (project-specific preferences) code anyway, probably with the result that projects that want or need to use the
resulting web code need to rewrite their PSP code, may I (again) suggest to consider implementing PSP read from a (XML) config file?
I think the config file approach has shown its benefit to numerous projects that use config files to set up their plan classes. It would offer the
additional possibility of displaying and even editing PSPs in account managers and client managers.
Oliver has already mentioned that we use this approach in the BOINC-Drupal project and has pointed out the XML specification that was developed there.
I think it would save time and effort for all of us to use this as a basis.
We certainly would be willing to help implementing this approach.
Best,
Bernd

Yes, that's the way to do it.
I'll look into updating the project-specific-prefs code
to use the same object-oriented framework as general prefs.

Add a project-specific prefs setting. The name of the tag and value to be used
depends on e.g. what the default should be.
Set up a plan class for the non-graphical app version.
Use <project_prefs_tag> and <project_prefs_regex> in plan class specification to
disable that plan class depending on the project prefs setting.

There's lot of copies of data to and from shared arrays. Even when the
screen saver is off, the check to see if data needs to be copied is a
non-zero overhead. There are optimizations that become difficult when the
graphics code is enable. The lab is having network problems, so I can't
currently get you a speed ratio of the no-graphics to graphics versions.
It would be difficult to add graphics back into the versions that don't
currently have it.

What overhead is left for the regular app with regards to graphics?
I thought all the major overhead is in the graphics app itself.

fastapps.
Hi David,
Starting with Astropulse 7 we're going to have both a standard app with
graphics code for the screen saver and a faster version without the
graphics overhead. If I just release them as is, the non-graphical
version will quickly become dominant.
There are still people out there who like to see the screensaver
graphics.
I haven't come up with a way (apart from custom code) to allow people to
choose to get a slower version with graphics over a faster version
without.
Any ideas on whether such a thing could be done?
