--- Comment #11 from Rick Graves <gravesricha...@yahoo.com> --- Good news. See the picture I uploaded -- a 4 core i5 3230M 2.60GHz laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E431, came with Windows 8). Testing as described using kubuntu 16.04 (kate/kwrite version 5/15), performance is good. For use on big files, it seems the minimum hardware requirements for the kate editor exceed the minimum hardware requirements for kubuntu. Is the bottom line that for big files, kate needs 4 cores, 2 cores are not enough? In an ideal world, this would be up front, and people like me would not have to discover it by trial and error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
