Hi Folks,
Our new community member Peter van Rooijen (welcome Peter!) reported an
intolerable slowness in the Transcript on the Mac. It turned out to be
that direct Display access (without the double buffering Morphic uses)
is extremely slower on a Mac than on Linux or Windows (about 1000 times
slower!). The fix was not trivial, but the results are good. What I did
is to have the display update deferred all the time, not just during
Morphic update. This requires forking a new process that pushes Display
to the actual screen if requested, but no more than 20 fps. It seems to
work ok on all 3 major platforms, with elimination of flicker, modest
speedup on Linux and Windows and very dramatic speedup on Mac.
I also fixed the statup issue reported by Dan, and integreated a fix to
Process browser by Phil. Thank you all folks!
I just pushed all this to GitHub. Enjoy!
Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
