Fast load first time, much slower second time
Hello,
I'm experiencing an odd problem while coding my game: The first time a "GameState" is loaded, it's very fast (instantly). When I quit and go back to the menu and load the GameState class AGAIN, it's very slow (as in seconds slow).
What could possibly be the cause of this?
more info: States are singletons, so there exists exactly one instance of them. When a State is "popped", all its pointers are deleted so its basically empty. When it's loaded again they are allocated with the new operator.
It's quite a lot of code so I hope to find the cause without having to post multiple files.
