Slow response with many objects

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jan,

If you have thousands of objects, I can very well imagine that  
Revolution gets very slow. I also believe that having thousands of  
objects probably indicates a need to re-think the strategy behind  
your user interface.

However, if "many" only means a few dozens or even 200 or 300 objects  
and if your computer is reasonable fast, say >500 Mhz, you should not  
experience much lagging while editing these objects. Still, even on  
350 Mhz machines, you should experience an acceptable responsiveness  
using the IDE.

Are you using any scripts that run when objects are resized, moved,  
or otherwise changed? Do you have any running handlers in the  
background or many pending messages? Are you using third-party  
libraries or plugins?

Best,

Mark
