I had thrown Minetest on to several machines when I noticed water felt different between two very distinct systems. The speed at which the player sinks in fluids appears greater on a lower end machine and slower on the higher end. Here is a keyframed video comparison I made for reference: https://youtu.be/_CiVPL5fSFU (Crummy PC left, fast PC on the right).
Each system is on 0.4.12 stable (Ubuntu) with like settings. The notable difference is the hardware, 1. {A10 3.9Ghz, 8GB DDR3-2400, SSD} 2.{Celeron 1.2Ghz, 512MB SDRAM, PATA HDD}. Is fluid viscosity linked somehow to hardware speed or am I just an idiot and have wholly misidentified this?

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Fluid viscosity/sink rate inconsistent?
