Slowness of themes based on theme files about firemotd HOT 3 CLOSED

@Tontonitch Hmm, I noticed that too, but imho the advantages of external theme files are worth it. I'm not going back to the hardcoded themes anyway. If I find some time I'll check if I can speed up things a bit. Maybe an extra option which displays a theme without the theme line parameters.

If you have any suggestions without having to revert to hardcoded theme files :)

Please try https://github.com/OutsideIT/FireMotD/releases/tag/v11.01.190105 and let me know if things are better once you have a cache file for the theme you are running. My tests say it runs in +- 1,5 seconds with cache and 2,5 without (live)

Also wanted to add that if you omit the CpuUsage from the theme you want to use it will be 1 seconds faster, as the mpstat takes an average oc all cpu's over 1 second.

@Tontonitch Please also try multithreading with https://github.com/OutsideIT/FireMotD/releases/tag/v11.02.190106
For example:
./FireMotD -T Eline -MT

This is still an experimental feature though.
