Game is very slow
The game is not rendering at "normal" speed despite it is using all the processors. Maybe my netbook is too slow to play it (it has two Intel Celeron @ 1.46GHz)?
I haven't run the game on anything that slow before. Did you build in release with cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && make? In Debug builds there will be a lot of debugging output.
What is the frame rate you are seeing in the stats view? (press the F1 key to show that).

I'm using Release mode, so almost no debugging output.

FPS jumps between 3 and 8.
Also, it seems to be using the two processor at 100%. Maybe it is busy waiting something? Can i reduce the drawing distance somehow to check?
I've added a compile-time draw distance option in rwengine/src/render/ObjectRenderer.cpp. You can try turning down kDrawDistanceFactor to see how performance changes.

I just tried to adjust to a very small value (0.01), to test if there is a huge improvement in the FPS. I'm getting between 5 and 10 FPS, so i think is not the main cause of this issue. Even when i'm walking looking at the floor (no buildings, cars or anything else rendered), it is very slow, like slow-motion.
Thanks for checking. There are definitely some CPU performance improvements that need to be made to get better performance on older systems.
Game hovers about 25fps for me.
