I thought you were talking about delta timing instead of interpolating between updates. If you include that book chapter link in your article I can upvote your post.
Jan 18, 2018 at 3:15	comment	added	Ryan1729		@snb My answer was mainly trying to explain the linked article. This book chapter is the best comparison of different gameloop methods I'm aware of, and it mentions the linked article in an extremely positive light. The chapter does mention that the method above, (the last one in the list,) is the most complicated. But I'm not sure where a scaling concern would come from since most games have only one game loop, and once the loop is set up, in my experience, you rarely touch it again. I'd be interested to see a better method though!
