More Performance Notes

  • Starling

More potential optimizations in Starling and the game:

  • Optimize memory for interpolate matrices
  • Review using try/catch in inner loops/leaf functions, use return values as try/catch allocate memory
  • Starlings VertexData is a large consumer, specifically scaleAlpha, applyTo and getOffset. Consider unrolling loop in copyTo and inlining getOffset
  • EventDispatcher.hasEventListener is a large consumer, consider a mapOfBools rather than extracting and determining the length of a vector
  • DisplayObjectContainer.render, consider moving setting the blend mode into children upon which they are affected
  • Garbage Collection is 17th highest consumer, consider removing instances of new Type.  Where Type is: Matrix (15,000 instances, 17% of total allocations), Array (11000, 13%), String (8000, 10%), Rectangle (8000, 9%), Vector (7000, 8%) and Point (4000,4%)
  • Calls to intersects allocates a return Rectangle, consider unrolling and inlining
