Smooth Running

The game made faster where it wastes its time, each fix measured in the game first.

• The terrain's update, once per world: the game starts it again at every load and never stops the old one; after an evening of play that was 6 ms of every frame. It ends the extra copies.
• Handlers of things that are gone, cleared at every scene change: hundreds were left each time, keeping craft long gone in memory.
• One clean-up fewer at every scene change: the game asks Unity for one it has just done, a fifth of a second each time.
• Each frame at its own moment: every craft drawn where it has got to when the frame is drawn; the judder flying low over the sea from 0.31 to 0.07.
• Frame blending, as a film camera's shutter blends motion, with the craft the camera follows kept sharp.
• Fewer stalls: the first lift-off's code made ready, the terrain held to 8 ms a frame under time warp, a launch's terrain built once.

For KSP 1.12.x. Needs Keystone 0.9 or later and Harmony (HarmonyKSP). Fine beside KSP Community Fixes.

Works on: Mac and Windows 11: tried. Linux: not run.
