Short description of error
Cycles in CUDA mode.
Enabling the Show Stereo option (in the temporary Render Window) seriously slows down rendering.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
- Open attached file
- Enable Stereoscopy
- Render and note time
- Disable Show Stereo (in the image editor topbar)
- Render and compare time
Some numbers
Rendering attached file with 1 eye: 5s (so you would expect a stereo render to be ~10s)
Rendering attached file with in stereo with show_stereo_3d on: 45s.
Rendering attached file with in stereo with show_stereo_3d off: 10s
It's clear that displaying the anaglyph view significantly slows down rendering at high resolution.
