I don't know if this is feasible, but I'd like to see a little status box or a right-mouse-button context menu item that shows me how calculation expensive a component is - ideally it is updating in realtime depending on the settings I use.

The reason is that often there are more ways to get to the same effect and of course I'd like to choose the one that renders the fastest.

In the meantime....

Anybody know which are the "heaviest" components?

Thanks to a heads-up from Vladimir I got rid of some High-pass blocks and the filter really came to life. smile:D

Any others?

I would guess that any component that has to generate a bitmap (such as blur) would be slower than the others.

Also setting the details and the roughness of the noise filters to 0 speeds up things considerably. Of course to use that option is not always feasible.

True. Especially for noises other than Perlin.
