Play is choppy but scrubbing is perfect

Would tycache still need to evaluate subframes?

Yes, because it interpolates subframe data so that you get smooth motion between whole frames. That interpolation requires some extra processing.

This is all just me guessing since I don't have the cache to test...but you can test yourself if subframe eval is the issue by disabling 'real-time' in the time configuration dialog and hitting play again to see if it's still choppy.

Thanks! It plays slower, but not choppy, so i guess it's calculating sub frames? I thought that tycache removes subframes since it's saving a file per frame. essentially baking an animation to the timeline so it doesn't need to calculate these things?
