Before making this decision, I would like to hear from Mac people

I have Qt-4.2.3, and on Intel Mac, there's no speed problem. (I
wouldn't expect PPC Mac to be much different, but I haven't tried.)
Yes but if we ditch the wide() thing you will get a full redraw for
each key stroke within inset. If you tell me that in mathed for
example, there is no time lag when typing then we can ditch it, if not
then we must keep it.
I meant that *with the patch* there's no speed problem: no lag at all
when typing (on Intel Mac; again, I don't anticipate a problem for PPC
either).
I 'm afraid we have a problem of communication here ;-). I know that
Juergen's patch won't affect performance. But I am afraid that the
alternative solution (ditching wide()) will.
Qt4.3 is supposed to bring more optimization WRT metrics calaculation
which is especially important on Mac. So, if you could grab the latest
snapshot and test with that if typing is OK within mathed when we can
ditch it.
All the better.
Do you mean you tried already?
