All the benchmarks have been done inaccurately/incorrectly for this. Although, its true that OSGL has certain functions that perform faster than CanvasDraw, but overall its worse than CanvasDraw. However, we can all agree OSGL is still new, and apparently thereâs a lot of improvements coming.
The benchmarks that were done above were pretty much âsame codeâ, but they hadnât considered that CanvasDraw and OSGL have different designs in how the API, rendering, and yielding work.
After taking into consideration their designs, I had done separate tests on the same concepts for each of them, and CanvasDraw performed way better than OSGL did, at least thatâs for now.
Here the result of the accurate benchmark each done according to their respective design:

Regardless of this, OSGL still has a lot of potential, and iâm pretty sure itâs going to be great! But Iâd say itâs still unfinished atm, and should be used only for testing purposes.

Wouldnât hurt to also add Average FPS 4 before the drawing pixel, and measuring the average of how long each pixel would take to get drawn 1-4 like the FPS, but, itâs already clear, so not needed.
This is solely for the purpose of improvements, and feedback. I have nothing but respect for these guys that are working on this, and giving it away for free.
It would be great if @Ethanthegrand14 could also confirm this as Iâm not the creator of CanvasDraw to have all the knowledge in it.
