Is it there a system in minetest to execute low priority functions if the main loop is idle?
It should be able to add a function to a queue and the function is executed at the end of a frame, if the frame is idle. If the frame takes longer it should be possible to skip some frames.
I don't know if minetest.after works like this. As far as i know minetest.after calles the functions, idle or not.
It should be more like this
Minetest.queue(1, function()) where the 1 is the maximum time to wait. If it is possible, the function could be called earlier.
I think this might help minetest to increase the performance

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.

Re: Execute when idle
Eek, but
I don't want to be executed for being idle.
I protest in the name of all idledoers.

No? But idleness is one of the seven deadly sins ;-)

Re: Execute when idle
Me either! It's hard enough remembering to check back to make sure I don't starve!
