While it doesn't address all of what you are talking about, I made the mobile theme partly to remove the sidebar so that it didn't have to render. This does reduce the amount of work that the wiki has to do and I have seen some small performance improvement when using it on my tablet. Granted I have a relatively powerful tablet and no phone to test it on, so the improvement may not be enough to be worthwhile on less powerful devices.
Most parts of the wiki only render when they are visible, so having the sidebar hidden and now displaying any tiddlers with complex wikitext in them should help performance. This is why in my mobile theme the menus are only visible when you need them, it wasn't only a cosmetic choice. None of this is to say that your suggestion isn't a good one, I think it would even be an improvement for some of the more complex wikis I have on my desktop. I may be stuck with only my tablet as a computer for a little while in the near future so I am looking into ways that performance can be improved in that context. Your suggestion is a good one, and I will hopefully be able to make something that works. I haven't looked at how it would be done, so it may be beyond my current ability. It would be nice if this is something that I could have set when switching to a mobile theme, but it may require some deeper manipulation of the wiki than is reasonable to do in that context. Also, since I am very curious and like when people play with my toys, have you tired my mobile theme <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/NewBrainTest/>? I have found that even small suggestions or comments from people can be very helpful and if it isn't useful for you than knowing why would help me improve it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
