Performance Spike/Stutter with launchpad
There appears to be a performance stutter when launchpad sends a load. It's hardly noticeable with one, but if you have several set up it's quite bad

It must be your hardware.

That's a poor assumption - you don't even know what hardware I have

The other guy is a bit harsh, but he is right. Because normal player doesn't have that problem.

How many launchpads do you have to build to notice the stutter?

I can have as many as 5-6 launchpads on the go. The stutter is a fraction of a second, probably approx 0.25 seconds on my PC. My current role involves high performance testing so I'm particularly sensitive to even small performance issues. I suspect its an asset that isn't loaded into memory, like either a sound or animation. So each time a launch occurs its loading the asset from disk and not memory. So with several launchpads it gets very noticeable

Edit - re-reading my post...it is a mod asset i'm currently using, i'll have a quick test with the inbuilt launcher and see if is repeated

Edit Edit - I have retested with default launchpad with all mods turned off and confirm the performance stutter is related to the launch process

This may be a bit of a necro but I can confirm the exact same thing; a very brief stutter when the launch pad sends something.

Specs are far from lacking as well:

i7-7700k
RTX 2070
32gb DDR4-3000
Installed on M.2 SSD

It isn't a major deal at all, but it is noticable with many launch pads at least. That being said I haven't tried running the 6.0 beta; maybe that'll have an effect!
