1:04:41JamesWidman Pretty cool! It does seem like a lot of calls take very different amounts of time even though they're probably not doing anything different. Is that due to other active processes? Is it usually worthwhile to try to get more consistent timings?

1:12:47JamesWidman [re functions taking different amounts of time] I mean, if we don't send any input and essentially the same image keeps getting rendered repeatedly, we still see a lot of fluctuation in the amount of time being consumed per frame. We have a lot of chop where I would have expected relatively calm waters (unless we're losing time to other processes on the machine)
