Start game timer once world is ready

[behelit]

I'm hoping this is a common thing, I'm trying to start a game timer once everything has been loaded.

I've tried several places like the renderer creation, onsurfacechanged, ondraw (first frame) and after all the obj objects have been loaded but there's still a time difference on lower end devices, ie: 1 - 3 seconds on the timer once you actually are able to start playing the game.

Is there a JPCT function that I can use instead? I noticed even though I start the timer once I have loaded everything, JPCT actually does a lot of compilation afterwards eg:

Any advice appreciated~!

Yes, by default, this happens on demand. You can precompile objects by using http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/World.html#compileAllObjects() and preload textures by using http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/TextureManager.html#preWarm(com.threed.jpct.FrameBuffer). Maybe that helps to minimize the hick-ups.
