Execution time for pendulum demo

[hk]

Hello,

I am just starting to use project chrono and I was surprised by the execution time for my simple model.

For comparison I ran the demo project test_demo_MBS_pendulum without the irrlicht stuff and was wondering if an execution time of ~70 seconds for 30 seconds of simulation time is to be expected? Or did I  overlook some important switch when building the lib or something like that?

I run Chrono 8.0.0 on an Ubuntu laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U.

I attached the source code file, which is just the demo file without irrlicht visualization.

This demo should run much faster than real-time. Are you sure you built the code in Release mode?

Haha, embarassing, sorry for my stupidity :)

I overlooked the default debug build, now it's more like I expected it to be!

Thanks a lot!

I'll share in the embarrassment; I also just started using this, found some demos incredibly slow, and didn't think to check the build configuration.  Thanks!
