maybe an IDE performance problem ... nordi said: You might want to have a look at my page on preloading ... James "The Man" :-) Ogley said: Can you time the load times, and report back maybe? (On my laptop, Firefox takes < 7 seconds from clicking the launcher to he window appearing)
Hi All, Am I to believe from these comments that the behavior Jonathan wrote about and I responded to /could/ be a problem? I've always dismissed it. Cross-platform programs like Firefox and Nvu sometimes /start/ faster on XP here but run like dogs when I push the system hard, as I've already described. Firefox loads in RC1 here in just under four seconds, click of launcher to my local bookmarks.html. jEdit, which is java-based and truly cross-platform, takes maybe eight to ten seconds on both sides, click of launcher to last edited document being opened automatically. I just haven't put much stock in comparing "loading" times because I'm much more concerned with overall stability and consistent responsiveness when I'm pushing the system and working hard.
