[vtkusers] VTK 4.4: VS2008 vs. VS2005

[Affolter Martin]

Hello

I did some time-measuring for creating and rendering a given 3d-model (CAD-Application). The goal was to check the performance of VTK 5.4.2 vs. 4.4. I wrote about that in an e-mail earlier this week.

This time, I measured times with vtk 4.4 dlls built in different Visual Studio Versions: VS2008 (VC9) and VS2005(VC8). The measured times using the VC9 compiled dlls are about twice as long:

VTK 4.4 VC8: 6-7 s
VTK 4.4 VC9: 12-13 s

The application sourcecode did not change. It is a release-version, built in VS2008 (VC9). I built to versions of it, one linking to the VS2005, the other to the VS2008 libs. I did not mix vtk-dlls, I can assure that using looking at the dependencies.

Has anyone experienced a slower perfomance with vtk dlls built in VS2008 instead of VS2005?

Thanks for sharing.
Martin
