Some simple coding techniques to push C# as fast as possible (1 Viewer)

Exactly.

That may be the only point in the entire MP project which needs optimizing.

if you profile MP (with nprof or ants) you'll see that
90% of all cpu power used goes in guifont.cs
in the method drawtext
In my opinion its better to optimize this then to
randomly optimize some code which may take up 0.00001 % cpu

Now you did it. Now 100 programmers concentrate on that single method to optimize MP, day in day out they look at those code lines

To stirr things up. By optimizing the fontVertices calculations my fps count went from 160 to 166, nearly 4%!!!!! And I only just started :twisted: :twisted:

well to solve our performance problems we should batch all direct3d actions
so that when a frame needs to be rendererd, mp just draws 1 mesh
todo this we need to batch together all textures & fonts
So in short
- instead of having 1 vertex buffer per object, we need to have 1 big vertex buffer
- instead of calling DrawPrimitive() for every object we need to put them all in 1 mesh and just draw that one
- minimize any other direct3d calls (state/render changes)
- check which functions are supported by the card and don't use non-supported functions
