Hi all, I have been thinking of ways to improve the amount of time it takes for the display to show anything when changing the text. In some cases its as much as 4 seconds! So I decided to take an approach used often in computer graphics, double buffering. In our case the buffer is an html page. I have implemented a system with two html displays, so that when there are 1500 characters ready to be processed I immediately show the text on the screen using the first html display, meanwhile I continue to load the rest of the text and once it is done I hide the first html page and show the other one which has the entire text in it. This approach is highly experimental and has kinks in it. I broke the verse scrolling but will fix it soon, I wanted to see how much faster this really is. It is definitely faster. Now that I know it will help I will begin the process of smoothing out my kinks. The code is in subversion. -- In Christ, David Trotz
