Hi all, I know this was/is_being discussed in some form or another but I want to weigh in.
On my system, AthlonXP3000+ w/ 1GB RAM, OpenSUSE 10.2, I find the SVN to be rather slow. I've jumped from the 1.3/XForms world into the 1.5/Qt4 and can hardly believe the change in performance. A couple hundred milliseconds per mouse wheel scroll click isn't okay, dammit! My laptop is rendered incapable of editing my thesis because of this (933MHz/1GB, same OS). Yet there are no graphics visible within the window, just a bunch of regular text. I don't win anything when I close all insets so the existence of the graphics probably isn't it either. Also I often find myself typing a word (say into a fresh Note) and waiting a couple of seconds before the characters start appearing one at a time. Maybe I'm unlucky and an auto-save is happening etc. It's as though there is way too much re-calculating going on after every change. Or perhaps the size of my document is contributing more than it should, any operations like this ought to be O(1) or O(n^0.5), not O(n) or worse. Scrolling should be dead simple, and editing a paragraph usually doesn't affect the following paragraph positions. I think if 1.5.0 went out like this then a lot of people who didn't already love LyX would migrate to something else. Maybe it's just me. But my system config isn't all that uncommon and I doubt it is the distro. Have fun, Darren
