Ciao Tony Thanks. Now I better understand what you meant. Which is somewhat like "grow knowledge through triangulation"? I.e. tests done using known data sets. Right?
What I was thinking about was whether we yet have general "Rules-Of-Thumb" of performance critical factors. Over time I've read threads about the relative efficiency of standard fields over tag fields. About the issue of balancing needs of organistion (rendering overhead) with only have "just-enough" organisation (reduce recursive rendering as much as possible) and no more. I can't say I'm yet clear. And maybe, given TWs richness its kinda hard to posit anything conclusive on "rules". But, IME, once you get to scale (thousands of Tiddlers) some generic issues get clearer. And are perhaps worth articulating?
