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

should ditch it.
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.
Apparently we do! I'm now lost as to what you want from me.
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?
No: Qt-4.2.3 is fast enough on my Intel Mac that I'm sure I wouldn't
notice a difference if I tried it here. What I'd have to do is
compile for PPC Mac and test on something slow, but I don't have time
for that right now.
