Not a Bug Axe-Fx III tuner display FPS is reduced shortly after load

[discondition]

Whenever I boot up the Axe-Fx, genrally the first thing I do is tune my guitar.

The Axe-Fx III tuner display on my unit has a slow / glitchy framerate for a good minute or so after turning the unit on.
It get's better eventually so this is not a serious issue, just wondering if others have experienced this too.

On boot there are some additional activities that happen.

I've seen Cliff mention before that some things get de-prioritized during that time.

I suspect that's what is happening here.

Yeah, makes sense I guess.

I don’t know why but I generally time the Axe on and spend some time doing other things while it warms up. Probably because virtually all my amps are tube amps and I let them warm up a good fifteen minutes before I tweak anything sometimes not even playing for that time. Old habits die hard sometimes. Heck I even do this with my old spinning dial auto strobe 590. The newer digital ones didn’t seem to need this.

Gotta warm those virtual tubes!!

Maybe they have a virtual warm up button buried in there somewhere!

There are background tasks that run after boot. The tuner GUI thread can get starved if you are using a preset with high CPU usage during this period.

mmm..
An item to put in the "Reasions to Develop a AXFX IV" Box ?

And then "we'd" use too much CPU on that unit and ask for an axe V
