The operator's 'many seconds between display updates', run to ground: MECHANISM (verified in source AND the shipped exe bytes): main passes GetTicksPerSecond() as ApplicationManager's frame RATE, so frameDuration is microscopic and RunMissions runs flat-out -- exactly ONE background slot per loop frame, shipped and ours alike (ctor constant @0044f2d8 == 1.0f, read straight out of BTL4OPT.EXE). That slot feeds a 7-task ring; the gauge renderer gets 1/7th of slots, one ACTIVE gauge per slot, and the screen blits once per completed wheel pass. The wheel is 136 gauges -- and the BT_GAUGE_LOG roster dump shows all 136 are real cockpit instruments (26 armor colormappers, leak gauges, cooling loops, weapon clusters...): a Tesla pod shows everything at once, so the roster is AUTHENTIC and must not be trimmed. Per-instrument latency is therefore 7 x 146 / loop_fps -- the loop rate is the only lever. THE DEFECT: build410.sh compiled -O2 alone. The authentic release tier (CODE/BT/OPT.MAK) is -O2 -Ot -Oc -Og -O -Ol -Z -Ob -Oe -Oi -Om -Op -Ov. Adopting it (all 234 TUs clean, no BC4.52 optimizer ICEs) doubled the loop: 16.7 -> ~30 fps wall on the rig. Shipped fifo throughput is still ~2x ours (11.8KB/s vs 6.4KB/s, governor-conflated) -- residual gap is an open question pinned in GAUGE-CADENCE-NOTES.md with the operator A/B ask. Instrumentation kept, cheap and gated: slot/wheel counters on the [stack] line (BT_STACK_LOG), one-shot roster dump (BT_GAUGE_LOG), tick-delta timers compile-gated BT_TICK_PROBES (OFF -- guest tick sums proved to be trap-burst artifacts in the emulator, not costs; wall rates are the only trustworthy measure). New: MUNGA/APPTASK.CPP shadow, fifofps.py (true board fps from a fifodump), pod_render_bgprobe.conf. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|
|
# by removing the port entirely. Everything else is identical to the rec
