Hi,
I think that UI performances cannot be solved by any new generation clock,
but by (only?) two means:
1/ having all UI in one thread, leaving time consuming tasks (heavy
calculations, disk/network access...) to other threads
2/ preloading resources (images, sounds...) at the start of the game.
To improve performances, the best is to investigate where the program spends
time. You could for example set up some traces as: print("method MyMethod
starting/ending at " + date) around such potential consuming tasks. You can
then use these traces to measure performance.
Moreover, if the game is built around a simple loop, you may simply measure
the time spent in each loop to weight overall performances.
I cannot help you regarding the bookkeeping.
Regards
