Does anyone find yi to perform sluggishly in Linux? Particularly when run in large windows and on larger files?
Here is a summary of what I've found: When running on Mac OS X in terminal, I am unable to ever get yi to perform badly. Even when running maximized terminal on a 24 inch monitor on very large files. A++! When running yi on linux, however, I get fairly large performance issues, particularly when moving the caret up and down in files (even if the frame is not forced to refresh). So for example, if I hold down the down key for a few seconds, it will lag and not finish moving down for several seconds after releasing the key. I have tried this across a wide variety of terminals (uxterm, urxvt, xterm, gnome-terminal) and have had the same results. Also I have tried using two different window managers (xmonad and gnome), with no noticeable effect. The only factor that seems to have an impact is making the terminal windows smaller, but I find this solution to be unsatisfactory. This is a very high performance workstation (8 core, 8gb ram), so I do not consider it likely that this is the issue. The monitor is large (30in), but I do not think that should be a factor when the terminals are sized much smaller than that. A further note to suggest it is not the machine (at least the non-graphical parts of the machine) nor the Linux OS that is the source of the issues is that yi performs well on this machine when sshed from a Mac. Does anyone else have a similar experience to this when running Linux? Any suggestions for mitigating these issues? Also, I am willing to provide any additional information that could be of help here, just let me know what is required.
