The question is "Can you optimise it and fix the problem". If you use a python vm and the answer is "no", how do you propose to fix the problem when it isnt "premature" > We will work on these issues, but it's also granted that we can only > optimise to a certain point since deskbar relies on a bunch of indexes. You can optimise enormously by minimising the amount of index touched by a search, by normal operation when not being prodded by the user to do stuff and when updating. In all cases doing the minimal touching of existing data will reduce the working set size, which is far more critical than total ram usage. ie an app with a lot of resources that sit happily on disk all day is a lot better than one that keeps touching them and keeping them in ram _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
