JUCE window stalls for 10 sec when Internet is on

My answers, which you’re being so critical of, are based on the fact that you said this happens when you launch other apps.

If you’re right about that, then the only thing that can cause two apps to influence each other to that extent MUST involve a driver, or other OS-level process over which we have no control. It doesn’t matter whether other apps have the same problem or not, because if it were to be e.g. a driver bug, then it’s naive to expect that all apps would behave the same way.

If you’re wrong about other processes being involved, then for us to help, you’d need to either

• debug it and give us more of clues about where it’s getting stuck
• OR give us a decent piece of test-code which so we can try to reproduce it

And maybe look at this thread:

Performance issue with OpenGL in multiple windows

Hi @mhbj Sorry, I meant to write line 229 (I’ve edited my reply above). As you mentioned, changing that line seems to solve the performance problem - at least for me for this test app that I wrote. Unfortunately, JUCE 5.1 is a bit different with regards to that worker: users can add work to the gl thread while locking the message thread and blocking it - waiting for the job to finish. My current idea is to remove any type of spinning altogether. I’ve implemented this on my private github acc…

But it seems you are like on a vacation and play the game with “I don’t understand this or that”.

Based on the content of this thread, no, there’s not enough clues for me to understand what’s happening. I’m not psychic.

@Kirgman

There are many reports here about not being able even to close/detach OpenGL compopnent without hang.

If you search far enough back, every juce bug ever found is in the forum somewhere. Doesn’t mean they’re still there.
