Hello all, On tabbing we are currently auto-toggling the frame. Are we sure that this is necessary? Could we include a configuration option to change this?
Drawing the frame animation during tabbing robs us of processor right when we need it, slowing the perceived transition time between windows. Furthermore, as the XO only has one processor the frame animation (which requires available processor to run smoothly) will skip a lot of frames if the processor is loaded. As we're auto-saving and re-rendering the windows of every window we pass during tabbing, the processor is invariably quite loaded, and the frame draw consequently is quite clunky. The attached patch to sugar optionally disables frame appearance if the file /home/olpc/no-frame-on-tabbing exists. This is just a proof-of-concept hack to make it easier to quickly enable and disable the functionality and observe the performance change.
