why is fusion standalone so much quicker?

title says most of it

I often see people giving/getting the advise to try fusion standalone instead of resolvefusion when having performance issues, simply because of the fact that your computer only runs this smaller piece of software, instead of fusion + all the other pages in resolve. which makes sense.

but even if resolve is open + fusion standalone + photoshop + after effects + illustrator + houdiniFX + reaper, fusion standalone still runs fine, better than just fusion resolve without all the other software running. that kind of defeats the argument that resolvefusion needs more computer power for all the other processes. (with better, i mean "snappier", less crashes, quicker preview/render times, etc)

so why is it that fusion standalone plus all the other software i mentioned, runs better than just resolvefusion? Is it an integration thing which still needs to be refined?

it's mostly a feeling, i can't really back it up with hard proofs. i wonder if other people see it as well.

It could partially be due to the mechanism how Fu in Resolve loads media. Try using just loaders or generated inputs, see if it makes a difference. For a few formats it has been found that MediaIn is dead slow compared to loader nodes (what they were, can't remember from top of my head, png was one I believe).

Do you have any specifics? A simple comp which shows this will be good.
