Hello,

I'm just testing the 1.5.0rc1 binary on my PPC G3 (iBook 700Mhz, 384MB RAM, 10.4.9). It is significantly slower than all 1.5betas released earlier. When I'm typing some characters there is always a lag of some seconds before it appears on the screen.
This makes Lyx definetly unusable for me.
Ok, my Mac is certainly not one of the newest ;-) but now even Word (which I really don't want to use) runs faster.
Is there a fix?

Greets,
Johannes

Johannes,

You seem to have quite little RAM. It *could* be that a non-universal version would work better for you (I really don't know what the overhead is for running an universal application, does someone else know?). Do you have the possibility to compile a PPC-version. If not, please let me know and I'll upload a binary and send you the link (limited band-width at the moment, so probably not until Thursday).

/Anders
