Hi,

First, I would like to give big thanks to all kx project involved people for their great skill and enthusiasm. I noticed that starting from version 3539 driver is no longer linked using debug runtime. If I understand it correctly and file resource info match it also , Kx project is still debug version (not optimized by compiler) using non debug runtime libraries. If I am right, is there any chance to get real release build (with code optimizations turned on)? My experience is there could be massive perfomance improvement.

Best Regards

well, "debug" marker does not always mean "no optimization"... same for debug libraries linkage (for example UFX (earlier versions) was linked to debug libs but had all its optimizations at 200%)

>My experience is there could be massive performance improvement.

No, in fact, there's nothing in the driver or its supplemental stuff (kxmixer, plugins) that 'needs any perfomance' (kX does no sound processing in software (with a few exceptions like ac3 decoding))
The very bottleneck in the driver (and its api) is user-mode<->kernel-mode calls - and this is times more consuming then all other stuff in (and turning opts on/off has no (even subtle) effect on that). But, again, kX's 'debug' marker is just a marker - it is not related to optimization options (speaking roughly - it's more about logging and more detailed crash dumps).

Thx for the answer Max. That is exactly what I want to hear.
