Mat, As I understand it, If the zoomin view is hiding the other open tiddlers, rather than not displaying them at all, perhaps it could have a little impact, I do not know) but even then Tiddlywiki displays what it is asked to and applies a change when it occurs, including say when "opening a tiddler it's added to the story list". Its genius is that that it then uses a mechanism to update any elements which have being impacted by the changes such as updating the open tiddlers list, other than saving changes to tiddlers ion memory the only impact is on what is visible. If the side bar was not there the open tiddler list is not touched, in someways it does not exist unless visible. This is why hiding the side bar can improve performance in large wikis (I am not sure if simply closing it helps), I take the $:/tags/SideBarSegment tag off $:/core/ui/SideBarSegments/tabs, just closing a lot of visible tiddlers in the story can also help.
I understand it is the way the "widget tree" is used to identify the children and update them, but more important is perhaps to remember until you save the wiki back, everything is happening in computer/browser memory including the recent list caches and more for fast searches. So unless your browser is paging the file, render time and memory access speed should be the main performance variants. People with more expertise can confirm or deny this, but I am quite confident on this. regards Tony On Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 8:02:12 AM UTC+10, Mat wrote: > > TonyM wrote: >> >> Mats link to single tiddler view is not about performance it is about >> visibility and functionality. >> > > You sure?
