Hello all, Like everyone here, my professional and personal life is now neatly contained in the essential and wondrous jscript and html wrapping that is monkeyGTD.
And I live a very full life. Exceedingly so it, apparently, since now that I've made mGTD essential, it's starting to verge on unusable. I've tried all the basic tricks (turn off animations, empty the dead tiddlers, etc, etc), but I need something more drastic: my morning check in now takes over an hour, mainly because I’m waiting for stuff to update. Quick add is now no longer usable – adding more than a few items can take up to ten minutes to process. Tiddlywiki.org ( http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Performance_Issues ) suggest turning off inefficient looping functions. To wit: "The problems reported by people with large TiddlyWikis are usually performance based, and it seems that the solution (once you've disabled animations..) is to remove macros that loop through every tiddler, like the tabs in the sidebar. So it's not so much the size that's the problem in a direct sense, but the fact that many TW macros assume that looping through every tiddler isn't very slow." Well that's fine and dandy, but strikes me as a stop gap measure: it might give me another megabyte of functionality (or so), but looking over my back ups, I can expect to be creating at least a megabyte or so of new >permanent< (ie tiddlers, reference items, etc) content by the end of 2009. And as things get more and more complex, and we capture more and more of our lives in this amazing tool, I can only see performance being a greater and greater issue. I’m sure I’m not alone in needing a faster implementation of mGTD. Suggestions? This hasn't been addressed to any satisfaction anywhere I look. It’s high time for a project that takes mGTD from it’s flat file roots, allows clean data migration, maintains the easy customization of functionality (and where at all possible compatibility and installation) while providing a few orders of magnitude faster processing and rendering. Comments? I couldn’t organize my life without mGTD, so if this problem hasn’t been solved already, I’m going to have to sit down and solve it myself. Anyone want to help? (I'm f-ing hopeless, so if you want a solution any time soon, you’ll have to pitch in. Ok, not quite hopeless :>) Jonathan El-Bizri Project Manager and Graduate Student in Psychology Research, San Francisco State. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GTD TiddlyWiki" group.
