Something is wrong then. Windows has its issues, and it does slow down
over time as cruft in the system accumulates. And Windows XP is getting
slower and slower due to a bug in the automatic updates service, but in
general, but your experience with Windows is not normal. I managed
hundreds of Windows workstations in my previous life and I did not see
this occur with any regularity. So something is wrong with your setup.
Maybe its time for a re-install? Virus or malware? Or maybe you need
to upgrade to Windows 7?
I tend to agree with you. However, I should say
I'm observing a strange phenomenon.
Among others, I wrote two interactive interpreters
with PySide 1.1.2 for Python 3.3 and Python 3.2.
If I'm runing such a task with Py3.2 (more than a minute)
timeit.timeit("a = '\u2345'*100000; 'x' in a")
it runs smoothly.
but if I run the same task with Py3.3
my window seems to be idled, and a message like,
Ne répond pas (something like "Do no respond")
appeares in the title bar of the window (my application
title + that msg). The cursor get transformed into the
win7 "waiting cursor".
The app seems to freeze, but in fact, it is not and
the resulting values are correct.
How do I know this? Very simple, the resulting
values are in exact concordance with the values
I obtain with my interactive intepreters, but
built with tkinter!
jmf
Have I understood this correctly? Your users are using a GUI that
you've designed and implemented, they type in 100000 identical
characters and then search linearly for a single character that they
know can't possibly be found, and then they are complaining that their
systems are too slow, yes?
