I run LC9 on actual windows machine and I have the same problem too. Whenever I edit or save or even just naviagating long scripts, 1000+ lines , with the live error and autocomplete on, there is a long lag between actions.
The IDE is also extremely slow when I am in debug mode or when I perform actions that creates multiple controls in real time. It seems like having the message box open causes LC9 IDE to go from slow to prohibitively slow. With the message box open, the entire IDE, mostly the script editor becomes painfully slow to a point that it is basically impossible to code. The solution to "fix" this is to go to message box -> pending message -> close the message box. Closing message box itself without going to pending message does not help. I mostly develop on LC 8 now because LC 9 is just too slow to work on.

Okay, granted, I usually run Win 10 in a VM. But every other program seems pretty snappy, barely distinguishable from a bare-metal install. And then there's LiveCode. I'm running v9, and it's slower than molasses in winter. Is this just my setup, or are other Windows users finding LiveCode 9 at the edge of prohibitively slow on Win10? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ Ambassador at FourthWorld.com <http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode> http://www.FourthWorld.com <http://www.fourthworld.com/> _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
