Hi, anyone got any experience of using both of these? Are there any advantages of one over the other?

Also, does anyone know whether where Lua runs? Is it in the main thread or the low priority thread like js?

jit-gl-lua-or-jsui

 at all . but i can name few things to consider .

If u are about to process graphics dynamically (eg : visuals) with OpenGL then 

 is the way to go as OpenGl is computed on your GPU instead of CPU . And something is telling me that Lua is processed on GPU as well . SO that would be a big advantage in my opinion .

 Maybe im confusing these two procedures .

Lua code is computed/executed on every frame refresh (i believe), which compared to JSUI - our Jit is much more efficient , but require constant refreshing .

JSUI is very CPU intensive . even calling empty function 

 needs a lot of resources (we need to take resolution in to the account too) .

hi. I wasn't aware that using jit was the only way to get stuff running on the GPU - thanks for that.

Does anybody have any insight into whether Lua runs in the main thread or low pri thread?

As I understand, LUA is exposed through jit.gl.lua and has a GL context via jit.gl.render and jit.gl.window/pwindow/matrix. This context is usually driven by a heartbeat with qmetro (low priority queue) banging jit.gl.render. When jit.gl.render is services from the low-priority queue, it walks through all its children objects (like jit.gl.lua) and therefore from this low priority queue.

jit.gl.lua or jsui?
