You've been spending too much time in Windows I think, which is 10,000% faster than KDE on any given day. :) Everything is sluggish, not just RG. When I use Dad's Windows ME box for something, I feel like I'm flying a freaking rocket ship. I just loaded a huge RG file in 9 seconds, which doesn't seem out of line relative to how fast everything else works. I forget how to count events, if I ever knew. It's an entire concerto, with three movements in one file. Probably on the order of 50,000 events. You want to talk sluggish... Select all segments, then open a notation view. I've been watching progress bars do their thing for a full minute now, and it isn't done yet. OK, 1:53 to get the notation view open. Now select whole staff on one of these. 5747 events. It counts 0...100, then 0..30..50.......70.....90...................................100 0........10........20...................30..........................70.......90.. ...............................................100 0..................10...... WTF is up with all the counting, and then counting again, and then counting again? It's sucking up lots of RAM and starting to swap out. My entire system is very sluggish while this is going on, and I have to wait several moments for KDE to get around to processing my mouse clicks. Now you want to see some REAL sluggish behavior, hit the up arrow. Transposing two three four blah... It took 2:53 to transpose up one halfstep, and it counted through the progress bar thingie at least four times. Maybe I need more RAM to mitigate some of this, but I used to work on this same file, in original MIDI form, with Cakewalk on a P166 with 96 MB of RAM. At this moment, RG thoroughly sucks for working on large files. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Rosegarden-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] - use the link below to unsubscribe https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rosegarden-devel
