Hi Howard There are definitely performance issues with 5.0.8, and they are particularly noticeable on older hardware. TWC is able to be faster than TW5 in some situations because its architecture is hacked to make it faster. TW5 is architected for flexibility and extensibility. But of course it's not OK for that flexibility to come at the expense of performance, so recently I've paid a good deal more attention to optimisation.
There are already changes for 5.0.9 that improve filter processing performance. I've also just committed a significant optimisation that radically improves the performance during editing: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/commit/0aa559cd23b3742c8f10c5ac144860d816699782 For very performance sensitive applications, TW5 does provide the option of rendering static HTML versions of content. For example, the content of tiddlywiki.com is available as a static HTML file at http://tiddlywiki.com/alltiddlers.html#HelloThere Best wishes Jeremy On Sun, Apr 13, 2014 at 10:27 AM, HowardM <[email protected]>wrote: > While I am very impressed with the growing functionality of TW5, I am > having problems of slow speed on my iPad, compared with TWC. > > For example, opening a tiddler via a link is virtually instantaneous on a > large TWC file (3Mb) but takes several seconds with TW5 on a considerably > smaller file (1Mb).
