I've been doing various testing an the three main platforms (windows, osx,
linux) and noticed that my Snow Leopard OSX 10.6 tests seemed slow compared
to the other platforms. I have a table with about 100 rows and as many
columns and when I create a dGrid with all the columns and rows it feels
very sluggish. The interesting thing is I see a process called "fontd" that
jumps to the top of CPU utilization list when scrolling up and down. After
doing a little research on what "fontd" is it appears to be a replacement in
OSX for ATSserver:
fontd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual fontd(8)

*HISTORY*
The *fontd* daemon first appeared in MacOS X 10.6 replacing the
ATSServer daemon.

I still had access to a couple Leopard installs (10.5) and decided to do the
same test and performance was significantly better, even with a table of say
8 columns. I have a feeling this may be a wxpython/wxwidgets issue and not a
dabo one but thought I'd bring it to the list's attention. Any thoughts?
