So: if the effectRate defaults to 2000 (which is what I'm seeing here on
desktop) and you have
------
Show image "grand-canyon" with visual effect dissolve very fast
-------
# theoretically 1/5 of 2000 = 400 milliseconds
why is the script profiler saying this line takes 4765 milliseconds top execute?
The dictionary has two methods: if you look up "show" it appears you should be
able to perform this "directly"
But, under the visual effect command the suggested method is to lock screen,
make the change then unlock the screen with visual effect. And we get
different results, various conditions where the effect just does not happen
anyway…no fadein as expected… there is a delay… screen is "stuck" and suddenly
the image changes.
hopefully this all improves very soon as CSS Animation which is fast and
smooth… now dominates UI everywhere, even for small inconsequential UX ops…
designers are expect all kinds of "oozing" warp,slide,fade away etc.
Frankly I'm sure users care that much, and if you have a very strong content
component, it's a lot more compelling than having your address book "zip up"
when you close it. And what I'm here is that the most important thing is
stability and performance. So, I may just remove all these dissolves.
