Its seeing something of decent size that actually works adequately that would likely help me most. FYI, for test purposes I work on the novel Great Expectations by Dickens. Its to serve a project I head up so the use case need is quite well defined. I'm chunking it to 1 para = 1 tiddler. This will permit the kind of fine-grained bookmarking & annotation needed. Its created via iterative use of regular expressions to the input text. Tiddlers are created directly in tid format, rather than going via JSON, then injected into a final TW. Its about 40,000 tiddlers. About 4.5 Mb size in an "empty" TW5. Currently it has far more added fields than needed because I'm still trying to work out the best way to organise the tiddlers. Final size could probably be reduced to about 3 Mb. Mark S wrote: > I'm thinking that if people have texts larger than that then must be > including images which quickly inflate the size.

Ideally I'd like to incorporate illustrations. Since they are line drawings there is the option to look at their conversion to SVG. But this should wait till I get the rest working as fast as it can. They could also be external. *??I don't think that would be a major issue??* because its just the browser loading them and there is no need for special indexing of them? The main issue seems to be how to optimally combine decentish performance with the paragraph level needs for annotation and bookmarking (i.e.* very high Tiddler numbers that need dynamically organising*)--as well as the tools to be able to utilise these effectively. Erwan's *Notes on Performance* <http://erwanm.github.io/tw-community-search/#TagsOptimizations> have proved useful in helping me understand some of the performance issues I need to look at. I'm still some way off producing a proper viable working copy. Your comment about *many e-pub formats actually being zip files* I was aware of, though have not yet looked at how they work. I doubt I would have the competence to actualise that methodology, though its an interesting thought whether TW could be bundled that kind of way too for superior e-pubs. Thankyou for your helpful thoughts. Best wishes Josiah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
