Re: 9.5 on Windows seems terribly unable to deal with fields full of text?

There´s already a bug report from Mark Talluto about this from 15.08.2018

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21497 


describing exact this problem. And he noted also that this is "extra 
problematic for Windows systems."

I noticed something similar today on the Mac. I was testing a function 
that returned 1.3MB of data to the message box. I edited the script and 
it was like typing in molasses. When I deleted the text I'd left sitting 
in the message box everything kicked back up to normal speed.

I’ve now modified my stacks to include a closecard handler to clear the large 
field’s content when exiting. 

Stack is now much faster to work with and save — far out of proportion to the 
size savings.

Hi Geoff,
I can confirm this and I reported this several times.
The whole IDE (the script editor mainly) is quite unusable on Windows 
workstations, no matter how many RAM or CPU is installed.
Tried all the suggestions on a lot of different Windows workstations without 
any success.
Hope that the LC developers will have the time to investigate on this issue 
that has also been reported on the QA center in different formats and confirmed 
by a lot of people.

Just running a script with large variables, no viewers open, and setting a 
breakpoint took 20 seconds.

9.5 on Windows seems terribly unable to deal with fields full of text?

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

The ide seems slow in general, but put the contents of a 1 mb 80k line file, 
and the message box disables the IDE, with multi-second delays. Examine that 
value as a variable, and similarly but to a lesser extent things slow down. I 
remember having no trouble doing things like this in 8, maybe even 9 on my 
6-year-old MacBook, which is in the shop getting a new battery. 

Anyone else? Any suggestions?
