we need now an official release for a such increase in power of blender. "
give it a try an comments
eek! be carefull naming your own builds “2.34a”
If some weirdo decides to post a bugreport with that name, that will lead to some serious confusement.

Xand:
Yeah, your post was confusing. At first glance I thought that 2.34a had officially been released, not that you had compiled a CVS build.
Its fast folks! I am trying to learn to compile Blender builds myself. You guys can’t keep all this fun to yourselves, hehehe.
Blend on!
sorry, but my build is still faster
i checked the speed of your build with my test scene:
your build: 141 seconds
my build: 92 seconds
scene was this:

machine was an old AMD athlon 1200 FSB 133
and this is my build:

Nope, not if your still talking of an optimized build of the official 2.34,not with AO and by a wide margin. I can send you the .blend.
Besides that, yours crashes more than the official but nothing that’d make it unusable : indeed I use BlenderIntel all the time.
Jean
perhaps i should take a special look at AO rendering 
especially in terms of profiling. i am really looking forward to the next CVS checkout
thanx for the thing with AO 
if the blender file isnt too big i would really appreciate it if you can send me a copy
please send it to
thanx again
is this optima. also avaiable for the os x version
or is it a intel-only version?
is it related to the compiler or to blenders internal
code?
claas
The file is small enough, 119 KB zipped and the subject is quite simple : I hate long renderings just for the sake of testing, don’t you ?
Jean
Append a ‘-cvs’, not an official minor version denotive symbol.
Thanks.
Antares, make an intel optimized version of the current CVS, then it will be faster since this is a speed up from a fixed typo.
to Xand:
I changed the title to 2.34 from 2.34a, because we haven’t had any “a”-release yet, don’t know if it even will be…
so if you don’t mind, change your link/build to a more proper name, we don’t want confusement amongs our users 
whats in a name.
(joke)
the latest feature in BF Blender CVS…is that there’s now a after-release “Global Undo” for all to test and give feedback on…
it is placed under preference-window under ‘Edit methods’…and push the ‘Global Undo’ , it works now outside of editmode and it even undos a CTRL+X command in Blender, also all buttons, pulldowns, viewing, colorchanges…settings, sliders…etc etc, all except Preference Window/settings…to make it work you need to have your mousepointer in 3D view…and use the U-key…
just go ahead and play

Ztonzy and Goofster: Is confusment a word?
No, it’s confusement.
Jean
maybe not, but why ask instead of saying it can’t be typed that way?
please correct me if I write wrong as you (I don’t know) I am not native english in my language…
Actually, Anta][es’s optimised version is still substancially faster – Here are some rendertimes of a simple sphere on a cube with just AO lighting:
Latest CVS build: 17 seconds
Anta][es’s optimised version: 13 seconds
Blender distributed (Soft shadows for all lamps): 16 seconds
didn’t try it with the official 2.34, but out of the versions I use the latest CVS build is definately the slowest.
Anta][es:
Any chance of optimising the latest build from CVS and using the patch for soft shadows from foof? doing this would be truly awesome.
yeah i can’t wait untill blender gets fast again LOL.
its raytracing is truly slow at current design.
Alltaken
Not every time Madcow and I mean that there is a big difference in favor of the new built when raytracing and AO are combined.
But I haven’t isolated all the parameters that will make one or the other the best choice : the Official isn’t it that’s for sure.
