AW: IDE performance (Re: Suggestion: Non-Appbuilding Community Edition)

[Ben Rubinstein]

Thanks Tiemo.

I think it would help LiveCode address this issue if we knew two things:
	- if this is something that changed at some point, what was that point
	- if this doesn't affect everyone on Windows, what are the relevant distinctions

In relation to the first question, if someone who is experiencing the problem 
was able to test using
	https://livecodestatic.com/downloads/livecode/7_0_0/LiveCodeInstaller-7_0_0-Windows.exe
	and
	https://livecodestatic.com/downloads/livecode/6_7_11/LiveCodeCommercialInstaller-6_7_11-Windows.exe
and confirm whether there's a dramatic difference in IDE speed, that would 
help. (Unfortunately since the licensing changes, the available installers for 
these old versions require someone with a commercial license.)

In relation to the second, by my count four people have now reported 
harrowingly slow IDE performance on Windows. I think at least two have said 
it's fine for them. Could we get a catalogue of the setups which do and don't 
experience the issue?
