Beta 3 Release Notes states "Performance improvements have been implemented for adding a note and applying highlights."
Has anyone noticed an improvement in either area?
I have seen some improvement - there is less hesitation while typing. It's not gone, just occurs less. There is still more work to be done.
Based on initial observations:
There has been major improvement for me. I have not broken out my highlight files, so they are very large. I have been hoping to see improvement without having to reengineer how highlights are saved (i.e., multiple smaller files). Initially, there had been as much as 5-10 second delays when highlighting. Note: I am running an I5 laptop with 8 gig memory and a fast hard drive. I can't imagine what it was like for others with slower machines.Now it is down to 1-3 seconds. Not yet what I would like, but radically better than it was. It is back to being usable for me.
For me, highlighting seems like it may be a little more responsive. I am still seeing lag in typing when I have several things open at the same time. This morning I am working in a layout that has the following open:
With these items open I see some significant lag in typing in the notes file
