Hi David, I'm afraid that this might be particular to your system. On yesterday's nightly build on win32, I could spellcheck a 30 page document almost instantly.
Likewise, on today's CVS head Linux x86 build, I can spellcheck any one of your abiword-docs documents faster than I can blink. This may be specific to your system or specific to ppc architectures in general. Nothing has changed in the spelling code in quite some time, except for 1 trivial if statement that tucker and I put in a few days ago and a call to 1 function (compoundgood) that only gets called if all else fails. So, unless every one of your words in the document is a compound word, I can't personally explain this slowdown. Thanks, Dom I can spell-check On Tue, 2002-03-12 at 15:07, David Chart wrote: > I've filed a bug about this in bugzilla, but spellcheck is currently > unusably slow on my system. > > A four page documents with no mis-spelled words takes 2 minutes 40 > seconds, and the terminal is full of: > > DEBUG: here we go whooooo > DEBUG: making misspelled word visible in main window > DEBUG: Clipboard: explicit clear [CLIPBOARD 0][PRIMARY 1] > DEBUG: Clipboard: SELCLR: [property PRIMARY] > DEBUG: here we go whooooo > DEBUG: Clipboard: asserting PRIMARY property [timestamp 8c214e31] > DEBUG: Clipboard: took ownership of PRIMARY property > [successful][timestamp 8c214e31] > > Now, since there *are* no misspelled words, the second line of this > looks a bit out of place. > > I'm on a 400MHz G# iMac, which is not a particularly slow machine, so I > suspect this is an Abi problem. > > This is on CVS updated about half an hour ago. > -- > David Chart >
