  • Printing to the console is quite slow. Be sure to comment any print() and println() cals in your code before presenting.
  • Optimise any graphic and videos so they are no bigger that absolutely necessary. 
  • Resizing images in real time is quite very slow. You can speed this up by resizing any images at the program start. See the example below. 
  • As a last resort, we can reduce the monitor resolution to speed things up

titleResizing images
PImage bg;

void setup() {
  size(640, 360);

  bg = loadImage("image.jpg");
  bg.resize(width,height); // we rescale the image once here, instead of in the draw loop
}

void draw() {
  image(bg, 0, 0);
  // this is much faster than image.(bg, 0,0, width, height) which would rescales the graphics every frame
}
