Oh amazing, will give the threads and requestImage() a try then. Thanks for the help!

[image] alexolotl: , will give the thread() and requestImage() a try then. requestImage() is already threaded. You don’t need both. :wink:

I’ve given both requestImage() and thread() a go - requestImage() seems to be working well for me, but I’m having a bit of confusion over why thread() is drastically slowing down my framerate (when being used to process an offscreen pGraphics) I made a little test script, where I’m using a thread w…
