Thanks Roger, Yes, the Windows spec is pretty similar to my slower macs, but the performance is significantly different, for example adding a few items at once takes a fraction of a second on the mac, but about 2 seconds on the windows machine so Im sure there is a big code issue there, and if I can track that down hopefully I can apply those changes throughout the app and get everything running faster.
Bootcamp and VirtualBox implementations of windows Xp, Vista and 7 are the same, so its definitely not windows either, it will be my code somewhere! I hadnt thought of compiling the app on a Windows PC, I always compile on Mac so Ill give that a try, thanks Andy On 15 Sep 2011, at 12:52, Roger Eller wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 7:40 AM, Andrew Henshaw wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Ive got an application that quite happily runs along at an acceptable speed >> on my Macs, but on Windows systems it seems to struggle. >> >> Im trying to pin down the parts of the code that I need to look at so I can >> work out what is happening.
