The Sadness of the Ignored Null Pointer

The Sadness of the Ignored Null Pointer

In this post we present an optimization coming from removing some pointless null pointer checks. The way that we found this was quite interesting

Speeding Up The Time Limit Controls

Speeding Up The Time Limit Controls

When a process takes a long time to complete, it makes absolute sense to put some time limit checks in so that you're not starving other work. What you don't want to do, of course, is to have those checks slow your original task down further by any considerable amount - here, we found that exactly this was happening .. so we present a solution

Package Versioning… How It Works… And An Optimization

Package Versioning… How It Works… And An Optimization

UE4's Package Versioning is a bit of a dark art for most.. here we try to remove some of the confusion around it - while, again, offering some improvements through optimization

Portrait Of A Serialize Perf Killer

Portrait Of A Serialize Perf Killer

With performance critical editor and cooker code, it's well advised to consider performance when adding tests for rare errors. Here we take a look at this and show by, by considering the CPU pipeline and code cache, a simple change can yield a significant performance improvement without reducing stability

Sweeping Up And Disassembling A Physics Macro

Sweeping Up And Disassembling A Physics Macro

Macros can often be useful to make certain programming tasks simpler - but they can also cause hidden performance headaches that might otherwise be avoided. Here we look at one of those - and how to improve it
