Every X seconds question...

I've been making some tests with my fluid simulation(60FPS) and when I replaced every tick, with every X seconds(0.2) My FPS dropped to around 5-10.

I always thought that the every X seconds is speeding up my game as a similar function in Game Maker did.

Does C2 do extra processing and still check every tick and wait until that 0.2 seconds has passed?

Long time ago when I was using Game Maker it was really slow and the best trick was to skip some ticks when checking conditions.

It really depends on how you are using it... it certainly shouldn't slow down your game!

This should definitely have made it faster since you're doing less work, so this is a very weird result, maybe share your .capx?
