I have been using Cygwin on a very slow Toshiba. By which I mean one can
sometimes wait 1 or 2 or 3 secs for what appears instantaneous on other
machines. But wish84 requires geological time to respond, as in:
-- at the bash or rxvt or xterm prompt:
$ wish # delay 25 secs for panel to appear
$ wish # delay 25 secs for panel to appear
$ wish # delay 5 secs for panel to appear
and thereafter, 5 secs' delay.
Incidentally, I might have understood "all responses slow", "all responses
fast", "1st slow, subsequent fast" but I find "1st and 2nd responses slow,
subsequent fast" extremely odd?
I have tried strace -o wish.log /bin/wish84 but get a file an amazing 7000
lines long. In any case, I'm not asking you to crack my problems for me, I'm
just wondering at this stage whether a wish84 expert can say "Yes, that's
the way wish84 behaves and must behave: on an old machine the time lag is
accentuated".
