hi, fish does a lot of updating of the xterminal title
i rarely have more than a few xterminals since i run screen, usually each of those xterminals serves a specific purpose that is set in the title. fish is replacing those titles which is something i do not want. however i have not figured out how to turn it off. related to that, the prompt is slow. if i run cd foo; it takes a while before the directory is changed and the prompt is updated. i presume this is in part related to the setting of the xterminal title but also to the redrawing of the prompt in general. try the following test: write a long line of text, then jump to the beginning of the line. now hit ctrl-d, and keep that pressed for a while. fish is writing delete-or-exit into the xterminal title each time. it is also redrawing the whole line on each deleted character. the deletion of a character is faster than the redrawing so that a new redraw is started before the previousone finished or something like that. at least the result is that most of the time the line is blank, and only occasionally the current state of the line shows as a blink before being hidden again. within screen in the xterm this gets worse. i can literaly watch as the cursor moves along the line to redraw it. it takes a whole second or two (yes, that is 1000 milliseconds) to redraw the line once. it feelslike watching a game of pingpong. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix offering: programming, training and administration - anywhere in the world -- pike programmer travelling and working in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (caudium|gotpike).org is.schon.org Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
