Dear developers
I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate this release. We have
been treated to many great releases of Lyx, and 2.4 was really impressive. But for me
personally, this release made all the difference. A few years ago I bought a diminutive
"surface go" in order to work with lyx while travelling light. It did work,
but it was so slow that sometimes I would type whole words, which would only appear on
screen after I had finished typing them. It would be worse when I also deleted a
character in between as due to the lag something else could be deleted. I lived with it
because I love LyX and I could not think of any alternative hardware which would have
been equally small but powerful enough. 2.4.2 changed this experience completely. Now
hitting a key on this little thing has instantaneous effect on the screen. even though I
am using.a machine which would have been considered slow more than 10 years ago. To me
2.4.2 is a change like day and night.
Dear Marcus,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. It is this kind of comments that makes
our work worth it.
I am very happy that this performance work was useful to at least one
person. I was worried that it came too late and that nobody would have
the machines that make the changes useful: on my correct but 5+ years
old machines, the changes make no difference.
Now, if you can tell me what is still slow, we might be able to improve
the situation a bit more!
Have fun with LyX,
JMarc
