5931: RunScript expression that calls custom method on template causes GUI thread to hang when loading
Fixed a significant performance regression in Vision template initialization.

Could I get some more details on issue 5931 in today’s nightly? We’ve got a lot of RunScript expressions that call custom methods, so I’m curious about when the regression took place.

The ticket title has a lot of red herrings. runScript and custom methods are irrelevant. The actual problem was with Vision templates in general, and it’s been a problem for the entire 8.X lifecycle (). Basically, something was being created from scratch each time instead of recycled, for each template instance. So I would expect pretty significant performance improvements for ~all Vision users in the next 8.1 release.

Awesome, thanks Paul.
