Comeback player: have new ksp versions better cpu usage?

[SpaceCarmelo]

Hi guys

i stopped playin' ksp sometime ago because it was pretty hard to get up at 7 a.m. and go to work when you recovered Jeb's pod at 5 a.m. 

BUT because of covid-19 i lost my job!   And i'm back here, ready to conquer space.

I used to play a heavily modded  1.5.1 (around 40 mods) on my macbook pro retina mid 2014, it was not very stable i had several fps drops but it was playable at all.

I would like to update to 1.8.1 since my favorite mods have now been updated, somewhere time ago i read that the newer version have almost a 50 percent CPU improvements

What are your opinions?  

 

thanks!

I don't have any hard numbers to give you, but 1.8.1 definitely runs smoother and faster for me than anything since 1.4 - and that was running fairly heavily modded game (including one with the JNSQ planet pack).  I never quite got around to migrating to 1.9 to see if there were any more differences.   Until it died last night, I was running on a 5 year old MSI GE60 w/ 16gb ram & an older Nvdia GT-something graphics cards with IIRC 2 gb.
