Dear list,
I have been working with TeXmacs/QT (1.0.7.2, not latest svn) for a
few days and the overall impression is very good. However, there are
three main issues on my system* which in my view are particularly
relevant:
- it is much slower than xlib TeXmacs. The delay is already noticeable
when positioning the cursor successively at different places within a
short document in papyrus mode, not to speak of typing.
- as has been previously reported, the process is not killed on exit.
This can lead to a wrong impression on TeXmacs, since during a session
many TeXmacs processes remain open and affect system performance. The
effect is also very noticeable on battery power.
- there is a continous readjustment of the document canvas when typing
documents that do not fill the screen
I was curious if this performance difference was due to my compiling
in debug mode. I just checked and it isn't, but without --enable-debug
the process is no longer alive after exit.
Best regards,
Álvaro.
PS. I'll try to remember to check performance on Windows.
