I have a sketch which was running fine on win10 pc. But I upgraded pc and now same sketch is running much slower. Any ideas what may be wrong ?

What did you change on your PC? RAM or graphic card or…?
Maybe you need to update your graphic card driver
Or show your program, maybe it’s something there.
Did you restart your PC
it’s Lenovo yoga 530-14ikb.drivers updated. Restarted. Before I had older model of yoga.
Error still there?
Code please?
no error just updates screen once every 2s. On older pc was updating few times a second. It basically draws shapes, and does serial communication with arduino micro.

Are you sure about the loadfile function? Wouldn’t it be enough to load in setup ()?
Hard drive is always expensive
Also communicating over usb - did you try a sketch without usb or for your current program another usb port?
yes, load file works only in setup to load 24 values. Program doesn’t use usb, only once an hour sends value to arduino.
it shows time on screen so I see it updating in intervals of 2s.
btw serial communication is essential, I have medical condition, my body doesn’t produce enough heat. This program keeps me warm.
disabled every command related to usb. No improvement.
Hmm. Any possibility that multiple delay() calls are being executed per frame – e.g. the mouse satisfying multiple checks at once, so that you get delay(200) + delay(200) + delay(200) + ? I haven’t inspected the code closely.

found it! I was using different fonts, invoking them caused lag. Trying now to find why.

got rid of that font, now everything works perfect. Thanks alot!

Ah, I see it – you were calling createFont() in draw(). It sounds like you fixed it, but you can load both fonts in setup and then use in draw() as often as you want:
- Cut from draw():
//clock
PFont monoo;
monoo = createFont("Digital Play St.ttf", 48);
textFont(monoo);
Add globals at top:
PFont monooA;
PFont monooB;
Put createFont() statements in setup(),
monooA = createFont("foo.ttf", 48);
monooB = createFont("bar.ttf", 48);
These load once.
Then, in draw(), switch fonts at will with no speed penalty:
textFont(monooB);

I tried it but passes null to texFont. Looks like not picking font files.
Make sure you are using the correct font names – I gave placeholders.
yes I did it exactly, and renamed font files which are in data folder.
