i dont know much about the parallel lua thing or actors but maybe that might be able to help, never used them but yeah just heard about them

tried your gradient, and no character renders properly (ignore the red edges)
what font do you use? can’t seem to make it render ascii character properly; also how did you get it to 25 fps at 80x80 resolution? that seems fairly fast for 80x80

the font I used was Inconsolata, and im pretty sure the only reason im getting 25fps for 80x80 is because i just have a good cpu lol (also no gaussian)

no gaussian 
so it is pure edge gradients or another preprocessing alternative
seems like it i guess
it still shows up as <?> might just be on my end

yeah its just pure edge gradients
it still shows up as <?> might just be on my end
weird

skipped the difference of gaussians step and got 0.2 frame refresh rate + 17 fps;
definitely more noisier though

i edited the source code of ComputeLua to poll faster with PreRender instead of task.wait (Heartbeat), which brings it from 0.2s DoG frame time to 0.06s DoG frame time, with 0.1~0.2 whole frame time, with the same FPS; while this might seem not so significant, it should help reserve more time for the raycast/sobel calculation
also hey you can try it out here: ascii shader - Roblox
let me know whats your fps
