Slow search on Mac
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Just wanted to confirm something:
I use an unbinned M4 Pro chip. Searching for a single value of a 64-bit integer in Frostpunk 2 takes upwards of an hour. Is this expected behavior? Why is it so slow?
Probably not, but requires further investigation for targeting that game to see why it's slow.
You can take a sample of Bit Slicer in Activity Monitor so we can have a better idea of what it's doing, although I'm not sure how helpful it will be. Better yet would be an Instruments (comes with Xcode) trace recording of Bit Slicer. I don't own this game myself, and I guess I haven't been trying that many AAA games lately.
I didn't reproduce searching taking upwards of an hour however I did notice it takes a long time (~5-15 seconds) to read all the memory from this process (there's > 57k VM regions). There was an issue with making this process for an initial search take upwards to 1 minute that I hope I resolved in https://github.com/zorgiepoo/Bit-Slicer/releases/tag/1.8.1-alpha.1
