Fixed bug #1026
Vittorio Giovara 2010-07-16 19:09:28 PDT
i was reading SDL_renderer_gles and i noticed that every time we there
is some gl call the gl state is modified with a couple of
glEnableClientState()/glDisableClientState.
While this is completely fine for desktops systems, this is a major
performace kill on mobile devices, right where opengles is
implemented.
Normal practice in this case is to update the glstate once, keep it
always the same and disable/enable other states only in very special
occasions.
On the web there's plenty of documentation (on the top of my head
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/3DDrawing/Conceptual/OpenGLES_ProgrammingGuide/Performance/Performance.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008793-CH105-SW5
) and i personally tried this.
I modified my code and got a 10 fps boost, then modified SDL_render_gles and
shifted from 40 fps to 50 fps alone -- considering that i started from ~30fps i
got an 80% performance increase with this technique.
I have attached a dif of my changes, hope that it will be included in
mainstream.

Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 1.2 --- http://www.libsdl.org/ This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms. The current version supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains support for AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, and SymbianOS, but these are not officially supported. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic library. The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and a documentation wiki is available online at: http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. Frequently asked questions are answered online: http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related issues, you can join the developers mailing list: http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php Enjoy!
