Everything on my system react nice and fine, except that tab ("other") took a
few seconds
the possibility of slow access is why i originally requested a "please wait
while acquiring options" popup window just to let us know what was going on...
but if the process is going to go into a background thread, there's no real need
for the box... even in my testing, loading lazarus with the default empty
project and going directly to project settings -> other as quickly as i could,
it still took some few seconds... my mouse has to walk a long way over this
1600x1200 screen ;)
FWIW: i just spent several hours moving some large files off this machine so i
could perform a thorough defrag of this NTFS file system... have returned the
machine to normal operations and just tested again... consistent 15.xxx load
times even back to back without exiting lazarus... just canceling the panel,
re-opening it and selecting other... the drive light doesn't even blink... not
sure what to do to make it faster... not sure that it really matters, either...
