[Solved] Is there some reason why my blocks might start to lag?

Hey Alex and Paul,

thank you @actech for pointing out the relation to WIFI. I can confirm that. That lead me to further testing with the result, that the compiling time is equivalent to the WIFI upload time

@paulmw: This might be interesting for you (if you did not know yet :slight_smile: )

I checked two projects with different number of blocks and made 3 times a little dragging on a WHEN-block in the block-section:

my large project with 700 blocks: obeyed compilation time about 13 seconds

!

small project with 20 blocks: nearly no compilation time

!

You cannot use the total received and total sent values, because I listened to spotify while thunking. But if you look at the sent curve it says for the large project a total of ~2 MB (area under the curve: 200 kB/s * 10 s) is sent via WIFI on each slight change!

My calculations are: if my WIFI / DSL connection is limited to 2 Mbits/s, it takes 10 s for 700 blocks.

→ Each Mbit/s speed of your DSL connection lets you compile 35 blocks in one second.
