Scheduler Load and Looping Scripts

[Blitzen88 16]

Greetings,

 

My understanding is the Spawn and ExecVM commands allow for the scheduler to execute scripts when time allows for it based upon the current engine load.  I believe the Exec command, however, executes scripts immediately when “called.”

 

However, how does the scheduler handle looping scripts which are initially executed via the Spawn and ExecVM commands?  For instance, say I execute a script via Spawn/ExecVM and it loops every 3 minutes.  Will the scheduler delay the execution of the loop since the script was initially called with Spawn/ExecVM?

 

Thanks

Forget bout exec. This is not for sqf scripts.

call is executing immediatly when used in unscheduled environment.

Everytging bout it is described here:

And don't exexVM an sqf in a loop, you multiply compilation of codes for nuts. Create a function and spawn it in loop. Follow links.

Im NOT talking about this:

 

while (true) do { execVM script; sleep 1}
 

Im talking about this:

 

while (true) do { something; sleep 1}
 

How does the scheduler deal with the loop?

It depends on what "something" is and what else is going on. Which is why code optimization can be so important.
