X7 Processes paths faster than X9

I have the latest X9 update installed BTW

 

I had an ECN yesterday on a complex 14 insert program on an insert plate to suit.

 

 i put all the new inserts in X7, re-selected all the geometry and hit save

 

For Shats and giggles....

I opened the file in X9(took 3 times longer to open even with those paths dirty)

and side by side i re-genned the paths starting the X9 first then the X7.

 

The X7 took about 12 minutes and the X9 took 16 minutes.

 

Is anyone else noticing X9 processing slower?

Is there a setting to fix this? i will go try the bench mark some time and compare

eventually...... but this is a similar test

Thanks in advance

wild guess.

you built the file in X7.. so the X7 regen files already exist in your X7 temp folder

it was a first time for X9 so it had to create the files first which took longer.

If this is true, subsequent X9 regens should run much faster than the initial 16 minute run

 

and something to look at

System Config/Toolpaths/Memory buffering.. are X7 and X9 set to the same values?

interesting on regen/ temp files

 

Why is it not the same when re-genning the benchmark test?

(i have had that file saved dirty since benchmark thread started)

 

I do side by side (config) detailed copying.

 

just checked and buffering is identical
