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.

Much thanks,

michael
