Corona performance affected by VFB zoom level

[Fluss]

I've just noticed that the zoom level in the VFB drastically affect rendering performance. When i look my render at 1:1, I get about 6 800 000 rays/s and when I set the zoom level to 1:32, I get about 7 800 000 rays/s which is a hudge gap imho. Does anybody else noticed that ? I have not tested that behavior on other scene but if it does behave like that on every renders, don't forget to zoom all the way out when you're rendering.

I just tried and... yes, the numbers rise, seems to be around 10% in my case.

hi,
what CPU do you have, and what refresh rate do you have set up in system wide settings?

[romullus]

That's interesting. Curious to see if render will finish faster also? Could be nice boost mode :]

I'm on a dual xeon e5-2683 v3 (total 28 cores/56 threads) - 64Gb RAM.
Refresh rate on default - 1000ms.

Thanks for moving the subject.

After further testing, it seems to be inconsistant, but overall, I experienced a performance drop from 10% to 25% in some case.

is there still noticeable drop in Corona 1.6 hotfix?

I just tried this and did not get such noticeable difference (3 678 400 vs 3 701 624).

I'm on daily 1.7 and it seems to be ok now.
