Faster Plotting after 1.0.3 update

[Teledyol]

Anyone else seeing this?

Just using the GUI on macOS 11.2.3 • Mac Pro 2013 • 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 •128 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 • AMD FirePro D300 2 GB • Aura 2T SSD • 32T Final at 40 plots and counting

No error messages after 6:30p PST last night…

Plotting four in parallel, a couple more days will tell.

they sped up bitfield plotting, mentioned in the release notes of 1.0.2
"This includes a 20% speed increase for bitfield plotting compared to the previous version on the same machine. In many cases this will mean that bitfield plotting is as fast or faster than non bitfield plotting."
keep at it!

In the following attempt to plot 4 in parallel, two plots stuck at 79% and 73%. I'm just leaving them in place, which may be a mistake.

I started a new task of running 4 queues of 4 at the same time, to see if that works. At 5%, they seem to be working. We'll see…

Had to give up on those two plots when my available space fell below 4G on a 2T SSD.

I started dumping the .tmp file then deleting the two plots on GUI. It appears to have worked in releasing space without disrupting the four tasks running
