VisionFlow Automator - Performance Optimization Summary

Optimizations Applied

✅ Memory Management

• Added template caching system to prevent repeated file I/O
• Implemented screenshot caching with 50ms duration
• Added proper resource cleanup and garbage collection
• Optimized image preview handling to prevent memory leaks

✅ Performance Improvements

• Redesigned automation loop for better efficiency
• Added step cooldown system (1-second minimum between executions)
• Implemented dynamic sleep timing based on performance
• Added performance monitoring and warning system

✅ Threading & Stability

• Improved worker thread management with proper cleanup
• Added timeout handling for thread termination
• Better error handling to prevent application crashes
• Non-blocking operations in main UI thread

✅ Resource Optimization

• Reduced logging verbosity to decrease I/O overhead
• Optimized PyAutoGUI settings for faster execution
• Improved screenshot selection tool with better UX
• Added periodic cleanup every 100 loop iterations

Key Features Added

TemplateCache Class

• LRU cache for CV2 template images
• Automatic cleanup of old entries
• Maximum 50 templates cached
• Memory-efficient template loading

Performance Monitoring

• Loop time tracking and warnings
• Memory usage monitoring
• 10-second monitoring intervals
• Automatic performance alerts

Optimized Automation Loop

• Priority-based step execution
• Screenshot caching and reuse
• Improved error handling and recovery
• Dynamic timing adjustments

Expected Results

• Reduced Memory Usage: Template caching and proper cleanup
• Faster Performance: Optimized loops and reduced I/O
• Better Stability: Improved error handling and resource management
• No More Stalling: Non-blocking operations and better threading

Configuration Changes

# PyAutoGUI optimizations
pyautogui.PAUSE = 0.01  # Faster actions
pyautogui.MINIMUM_DURATION = 0  # No minimum delays

# Logging optimization
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)  # Reduced verbosity

# Template cache settings
max_cache_size = 50  # Maximum cached templates
cache_cleanup_threshold = 25%  # When to clean old entries

The optimized application should now run more efficiently without getting killed or stalled during scenario execution.
