[Feature Request] Make it possible to see performance cost of the node network and ideally how much which nodes contribute to that cost about fastnoise2 HOT 7 CLOSED

Yes, this is on my to-do list. I think each node can have a total and delta generation cost, although it would be 2D costs. Can maybe add an option for 3D previews to solve that too

Nice!

@Auburn while the node editor does not show it yet, is there maybe any rough documentation anywhere about how expensive some of the often used nodes are, or is the only way to know that currently by profiling different noise configs manually in my own code? I'm especially interested in how much performance impact a "Domain Warp Gradient" has, how "Fractal Ridged" compares to "Fractal FBM", and how "Simplex" compares to "Open Simplex 2".

Here are the performance charts that get updated with every commit: https://auburn.github.io/fastnoise2benchmarking/

I should probably link them somewhere 😅

That's very useful charts, thanks! That would be very useful to have linked in the readme and documentation.

I have added performance counters to the node graph cfce4d8

The results are quite noisy though so take them with a grain of salt

Thanks!
