I don't recall anyone in this thread mentioning a problem with built
applications. The references that I've seen have all been in regards
to the IDE.

And for what it's worth, I hadn't noticed any particular sluggishness
on my somewhat older PB in post-RB 5.5.5 versions until the latest
release.

I'm running RB2006v2 on a 5 year old 15" G4 PowerBook, 667MHz, 256mb
RAM.

I have two main applications which are in constant daily use, and,
while neither is anything like the size of Paul Rodman's, both run full
screen and are quite complex, both in terms of their GUI and their
functionality. Also, all displays are buffered.
One is a live trading application, involving split second decisions
(and, more to the point, my money), and therefore requiring fast and
effective functionality. (I actually have to slow this down as it
updates too quickly to be easily readable!)
The other is a front end to a Valentina 1.11 db. All screen updates in
response to SQL queries bar one take between 30 to 50 spots; the other
clocks around 0.9secs (can't work out why this is slower).

Since most who post here are either professionals and/or considerably
more experienced than me, I assume their code is likely to be
better/more efficient than mine. And my machine plainly doesn't meet
even the minimum requirements. So what's going on here?
The only thing I can think of that may be of (probably marginal?)
significance is that apart from a pagepanel and an editfield in each
app. all other aspects of the GUIs are custom-built from canvases. But
why no problems because of what would seem to be seriously inadequate
RAM?

It all seems rather weird.

I'm well aware that others will be working in areas where bugs /
performance cause problems, but it will also be apparent that, as far
as my own experience goes, REALbasic delivers exactly what (possibly
naively?) I expected, and that I, for one, have no complaints.
