[Issue]: Live Preview enabled significantly slows generation

[brknsoul]

Issue Description

I believe this is due to Live Preview slowing things down.

I'll attached the gifs I took;

Live preview display period = 1, method == approximate

Live preview display period = 0 (ie: disabled);

The slowdowns seems to coincide with spikes in vram usage (first spike = generation, second spike = detailer);

i understand the issue, but are you saying this is NEW behavior and there was no slowdown previously?

Just installed master, no slow down.
Also, no GPU vram spikes, either.
