Bennett,
You bring up a point I was planning to ask. I have also noticed a
slowness
of screen redraws when typing or navigating on my 600Mhz iBook that
was not
noticeable with LyX 1.3.7 but is noticeable with LyX 1.4.4.
Specifically
when typing within figure floats and equations.
My question is: Is there a way to speed this up? i.e., turning off
instant
preview, etc. or is it finally getting time to upgrade the old iBook.
It is the result of significant changes in how LyX 1.4.x works as
opposed to 1.3.x. The problem is worse when typing in insets -- boxes
of text that can be opened or closed, like ERT boxes, footnotes, LyX
notes, etc.
Is there anything that can be done? ... Not really. Smaller window
sizes may help, but that's not a tradeoff I'm willing to make.
You might try out the beta of LyX-1.5 and let us know how performance
of that compares and whether it's acceptable. A now somewhat outdated
universal version can be found here:
