Hi!
While LyX is fantastic in almost every way, it is slow... My LyX is slow at
pretty much everything. Typing, scrolling, moving the cursor around using
arrow keys, highlighting sections of texts, etc. Even for small documents.
This is strange, since my computer is quite fast. It is slow botjh when
using the proprietary NVIDIA and the open-source Nouveau graphics card
driver. I'm running LyX on an XFCE desktop on Debian Sid, using Linux 3.0.4
on a dual-core Asus laptop.
What version of LyX? Here 2.0.1 works fine on Xubuntu 10.04 64bit using Xfce.
Thanks for the information! I'm using 2.0.1, also on 64bit. I've now switched to
the proprietary Nvidia driver, and it is noticeably faster. I would say that
with this driver, the speed is now acceptable.
I have deactivated the automatic toolbars that appear when the cursor passes a
mathematical equation, so that helps a bit. Even though I wanted to use the
nouveau driver, I guess I will now stay with the proprietary driver.
Best regards
