<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Hi Daniel,<br><br></div>As asked by Brecht I'm creating a webpage where we could track down the speed improvements. I will use your Caterpillar shot slightly changed (resolution wise) so it doesn't last too long. Will be ready in a week (am travelling atm) and will show CPU and GPU graphs for different official Blender versions and dev versions.<br>
<br></div>Many greetings, Thomas<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2014-03-25 0:43 GMT+01:00 Daniel Salazar - <a href="http://patazstudio.com">patazstudio.com</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zanqdo@gmail.com" target="_blank">zanqdo@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br>
