Trevor, I think your right on this. I have processing slow downs on mobile post 6.1. New devices not so much, but older devices(Galaxy S3) it's very noticeable. In my case it doesn't seem to be a rendering issue. It's pointing towards SQLite and text processing speed. I will find out where exactly in the code this is happening....

RunRev is working to address this as soon as possible. What you describe seems to be something else. 6.5 doesn't have any of the retina changes for desktop but does have the graphics layer changes (as you mentioned). It is my understanding that 6.5 should run at the same speed as previous versions. I wouldn't expect any changes specific to 7.0 to affect what you are seeing, although the speed increase they are working on for retina would probably help. I would *highly* recommend that you submit a bug report about the performance on your machine. Waiting to see if something gets fixed when you haven't filed a report often leads to disappointment :-) -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems www.screensteps.com - www.clarify-it.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
