Hi Mark

Okay, finally I have a moment to respond.

First, I am curious what you meant when you said my file was "up to almost 
1M". Notestorm is 652 kb, and the Spanish one is over 3 MB. But even the 
Spanish one works fast for me, and I don't have a brand new machine or 
anything terribly fancy, just a HP laptop that is two years old.

Second, wow, I open tiddlers, edit them, save them, close them on that 
file, and everything is instantaneous. Did you have the right sidebar open? 
Sometimes that slows things down. See my old tips at 
http://www.giffmex.org/twfortherestofus.html#[[Tips%20for%20speeding%20up%20performance%20on%20large%20TiddlyWikis]].
 
The problem shouldn't be the file in normal use. It is probably either 
something about your computer, your web browser, or something you are 
doing? Maybe someone here can help you?

Finally, an explanation about the "notes". My original idea was that when 
in a notelist, opening a note would let you see just the text of the note, 
with no clutter, in big text. The idea is that the notes would be short, 
like quotes, thoughts, stats, etc. And hitting the random button would call 
them up, and all you would see would be the note text, like using a random 
quote generator. Since the default tiddler title is the date and time 
stamp, it would also detract from the aesthetic of the presentation of the 
note. And I figured if someone put a title for their tiddler, the title 
wouldn't be visible from the notelist anyway, unless they hover over the @ 
symbol. So they would create a tiddler title, then not see it in the 
notelist, and it would be confusing for them. What I do personally is if I 
have a title I want to see, I type it in the tiddler text itself. I only 
change* tiddler* titles if I need to order the tiddlers in a certain 
sequence. But I don't see the tiddler titles in normal use. 

Since you really want tiddler titles, that is fine, just paste the line 
<span class='title' macro='view title'></span> in NoteViewTemplate, above 
the line <div class='viewer' macro='view text wikified'></div>. That will 
give you titles.

As you can tell, NoteStorm is a significantly different way of using 
TiddlyWiki. Normal use of NoteStorm completely bypasses the need to title 
and tag tiddlers, and focuses on creating the text of the note itself, 
saving time for the user. You are trying to use it as if it were a 
traditional TiddlyWiki. I recommend NOT adding the line that I gave you 
above, and putting a title in bold text in the first line of the tiddler 
text, and seeing if that works for you. I think you will like it once you 
try it for a while.

But defintely, if you figure out precisley why your use of NoteStorm is so 
slow, let me know. It really should work quickly as it does for me. My 
personal NoteStorm is over 4 MB and shows no sign of slowing.
