Mapbox-gl-native: Poor performance on macOS

[mmase]

Platform: macOS
Mapbox SDK version: 3.6.3

Steps to trigger behavior

1. open demo app on recent retina macbook pro model (2015, 2016, 2017)
2. make the app either full screen or full width/height
3. pan, zoom, etc

Expected behavior

the native app be more performant than web version

Actual behavior

it is substantially slower. when the window is smaller, it improves. this is before adding any customization. seems to freeze up and just really struggle with rendering in a performant fashion.

Hi @mmase thank you for using Mapbox. I am sorry to hear you have some issues. To clarify are you using our macOS sdk version 0.5.0?

We are already aware of the issue as noted here https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues/9912. There should be a new version soon.

I'm closing this as is already fixed. I will let you know when the new version is released.

Thanks, @fabian-guerra and sorry for the noise!

9912 was caused by #9676, which hasn’t made it into any macOS SDK release yet. But it sounds like @mmase was using a release, so this slowness is probably #7820, which is a long-running issue. Can you clarify which version you were running?

[mmase]

apologies for confusion, I was using latest on master as of friday evening.

No worries, glad this worked out!
