1728 pixel matrix slow frame rate

I put together a conical “tree” using 4 strings of 432 LEDs using 4 ESP32 IO pins. Each of the 4 strings is laid out as a 6 x 72 serpentine panel. Currently I have set this up as a single panel of 24 x72. The framerate for most 2D effects is in the range of 10-15. Shouldn’t this be much higher? I don’t need 40fps but most effects look terrible unless the framerate is at least 20. I also tried setting it up as 4 panels of 6 x 72 but there’s not much difference in framerate.

@chiraldude did you put the Frametate in the Config down to 25 FPS then the REAL Framerate may come up to around 18 FPS
While leaving on 40FPS settings it may stay below 10
THE framrate is calculated on the full Mem size not the used Nodes

WHY caus DDP and xlights got there own push system that needs the mem Calc

I will give that a try. You mention Xlights, I have downloaded the package and plan to switch over eventually. Does the Wled setting matter if using Xlights?
