  Don't confuse draw calls with GPU work. "Draw calls" as is meant by the profiler means the CPU overhead of telling the GPU what to do. Even in low-quality fullscreen mode there are probably identical draw calls, because all that's changed is the size it's rendered at, not the number of things to render. The smaller render surface in low-quality mode decreases the GPU work necessary to complete the draw calls issued by the CPU, because there are fewer pixels. So it only improves performance if the game is GPU-bottlenecked.

  Thanks, fixed the repro that Yarfapet provided (as per our policy we do not accept reports using third party plugins), should be fixed in the next build.

  I think this is just how box2d calculates collisions internally. I don't think we can change it at all I'm afraid. A workaround could be to use invisible objects without edges for collisions.

  Closing. Please note the link you gave does not work, we would have closed this anyway without a working .capx link.

  The project 'Window size' property has no direct effect on performance in 'High quality' fullscreen mode, assuming the same content is displaying. It results in exactly the same rendering work. It's only faster to use a smaller window size in 'Low quality' fullscreen mode, where it first renders to a smaller size (which is faster), then stretches the result up (which is quick).

  Crosswalk is based on Chrome for Android, so it should run very similarly. If it does not, perhaps report it to Intel.

  It would be a monumental and incredibly expensive amount of work for a relatively small userbase.

  The images are stored in memory at the size you see them in the image editor, regardless of the runtime or layout view scaling.

  It's not actually usually important for sprites to be a power-of-two size, since whatever size they are they get spritesheeted on to a larger power-of-two size texture.

  It just directly calls the CocoonJS API, so it probably depends on whatever CocoonJS is doing.

  Can't reproduce, works here - my best guess is you're just getting the canvas2d renderer instead of WebGL, perhaps because Chromium 32 has a newer driver blacklist. Check your graphics card drivers are up to date.

  Should be fixed in r160.2.

  Does this happen with a folder project, .capx project, or both? Can you reproduce it if you set the autosave interval to 5 minutes and leave it for 10-15 minutes?

  I'm afraid it's currently by design.

  I can't really help you here, it's not really anything specific to the Javascript SDK. A site like stackoverflow.com might be able to help better.
