[Pgui-devel] Designing a more efficient protocol

2003-01-29 Thread Micah Dowty
Hi, Another consideration for the new object model, is in optimizing the wire protocol. Currently PicoGUI always requires a response for every request, and in order to create an object then set properties you have to wait for the object ID to be returned, then use that ID to set properties. The s
