Some of the sites we are using for benchmark tests, shows a very large drop in fps.
Specifically:
http://antutu.com/html5/game.html
http://antutu.com/html5/collision.html
Both had around 35-40 fps in qt 5.13.2 and now 3-4 fps.
They are both part of a testsuite found on
http://antutu.com/html5/
The rest of the tests in that suite performs as good as, or even better than before.
My setup:
The platform used for the tests are an iMX6 based board supplied by Freescale: imx6sabresd evaluation board.
I am using the vivante proprietary OpenGL libs for hardware acceleration.
Building in Yocto, and basing my work on the dunfell release of Yocto and dunfell branch of meta-qt5.
Command used for test:
./simplebrowser http://antutu.com/html5/game.html --no-sandbox --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas
Notes:
1:
I traced it down to work as before ( i.e. as well as with qt 5.13.2) with the chromium 75 browser in commit in qtwebengine.git:
51228eb249a178ada6ebd2ccd5e662bcd7bd2c60
2:
Tried disabling the viz display compositor, which seems to cause no change at all.
3:
What does seem to cause a change is to drop "- -enable-accelerated-2d-canvas" and add "--disable-accelerated-2d-canvas". If I do that, then fps rises from 3-4 to around 20 fps using http://antutu.com/html5/game.html. But disabling the 2d hw accelerated canvas then causes the http://antutu.com/html5/birds.html to drop from around 30 fps to around 2.
4:
Tried the 5.15.0 version of meta-qt5 that uses chromium 80, but I am seeing the same problem as with qt 5.14.2.
