Guys, I am happy to report that all the performance problems noticed
with Lyx-qt4/Mingw have mostly disappeared.
+ In the UserGuide, Breaking a section item or an enumerate list is now
instantaneous!
+ The outline functionality in the Toc dialog is now very fast: I can
click successively in the "down" button without noticing a big delay.
- Unfortunately, scrolling with pageDown key is a bit slower: 43 seconds
for MSVC instead of 37 seconds for Mingw.
On the last point, I am not sure this is due to the compiler difference.
Lyx/Mingw was compiled with -O3 and I don't know which optimization was
enabled in the official Qt4/Mingw package. Also, I don't know which, if
any, optimization were passed to the Msvc compiler.
Bo, we need this included intl and then we will be set! :-)
Abdel.
