Dear list, I have been working with TeXmacs/QT (1.0.7.2, not latest svn) for a few days and the overall impression is very good. However, there are three main issues on my system* which in my view are particularly relevant:
- it is much slower than xlib TeXmacs. The delay is already noticeable when positioning the cursor successively at different places within a short document in papyrus mode, not to speak of typing. - as has been previously reported, the process is not killed on exit. This can lead to a wrong impression on TeXmacs, since during a session many TeXmacs processes remain open and affect system performance. The effect is also very noticeable on battery power. - there is a continous readjustment of the document canvas when typing documents that do not fill the screen I was curious if this performance difference was due to my compiling in debug mode. I just checked and it isn't, but without --enable-debug the process is no longer alive after exit. Best regards, Álvaro. PS. I'll try to remember to check performance on Windows. * 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04 Linux x 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux libqt4-dev Version: 4.5.0-0ubuntu4 _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
