Pop-up Stat Filling Strategy / Priority

[oracle3001]

Obviously I don't know the exact strategy that PT4 uses to fill stats, but from what I understand / witness the pop-up stats are essentially filled on "request" i.e the first time you click to reveal the pop-up panels. The always visible stats show near instantly, but I am having problems with wait times for the pop-ups. Villains I have a lot of hands on, their pop-ups can take so long to fill that if I was to wait I would run out of time to act.

Now what I find is this work perfectly well for villains I only have < 1000 hands on, but for regs who I play day in day out, what I end up doing is when I get a second clicking one of their pop-up panels to kick the request off. Also, I note that even when a villain has their stats filled on one table, it doesn't transfer this data to the same villain sitting at my other tables.

A couple of suggestions.

1) That PT4 looks at villains sitting at tables and those who have a lot of hands (it must know as it the always visible #hands stat is showing), in a period where there is low postgres usage it sends a request to get some or all of the stats required for the pop-up.

2) One a villains stats have filled on a particular table, it transfers this data to all other known instances of the villain playing at other tables at which the active player is involved.

You're right that popup requests are done on-demand.
If you're using custom stats this can take a little time to populate the popup, but built-in stats are cached and should appear pretty quickly.
Regardless, I'll pass on your comments to the development team.

I have 1 or 2 custom stats in the pop-up, but it isn't the case that everything else fills then those slower requests fill afterwards, or even that one pop-up panel fills separately from / before the rest. It appears that whatever request is sent to postgres is for an all or nothing return of all stats contained in all pop-up panels associated with a particular villain on a particular table. Which is I find it interesting that given all that work takes place, it needs to be repeated for the same villain on a different table, rather than passing that data on.

I would expect that data to be available for a Villain no matter on what table - the custom stats should populate separately than the built in ones, that is true. Could you send us a log with the query times? That would help us in figuring out what's causing this behavior for you.

Will do.

Custom stats definitely don't return separately for me. It is all or nothing on pop-up stats.

Just tried this using observed tables on stars.fr only. The time to fill pop-ups definitely increases when I am actually playing hands.

I first called for pop-up stats of reg 1 on a table. I have 30k on villian, took about 10-15s to return. Then I clicked on same player on another table, no stats there, another 10s for this pop-up to fill.

Repeated with another reg, who I have 60k hands on. Took 15s to fill pop-up stats. Again, clicked on same player on another table, no stats.

Repeated for reg 1 & 2, same timing / experience.

Final reg, 85k hands, took nearly 30s to fill.

As stated above it takes longer when I am actually playing, such that for instance the reg I have 85k hands on can take upto a minute to fill. The reason I know this is I have sat and waited for it to fill when trying to make a decision and my have in the end was folded after the initial decision time + a full time bank was completely used up.
