Major performance problem on right-clicking

Gabe Powell

I'm taking Greek, so we have to do a lot of manual parsing. To aid in this I usually copy and paste the Greek word and its lemma into an excel doc. When I do this in v3 it is snappy, instantaneous, and there is no draw from the CPU. However when I do this in v4, my 3GHz quad-core CPU goes nuts anywhere from 20-50% usage for each right-click.

It is faster when the "Selection" item is used than when the "Lemma" menu item is selected, but either way there is a definite lag and the processor is heavily used.

For a right-click menu this seems to be a serious problem. What use to be quick right-click, copy, paste is now a right-click, wait a second, copy, paste. When you're trying to do this with 50+ words the lag gets old real fast.

I hope this gets optomized soon!

Gabriel,

How much memory do you have?

I just tried this with NA27 with McReynolds Interlinear showing just the text and lemma. Snappy. No lag. Processor went to 60% ish for a second, but no lag. As fast as I could switch (using Alt Tab or my mouse) it was right there.

I have a dual core T5870 with 2.0 ghz and 4 GB of RAM. The only thing I can think is the RAM. I am running 1.61 GB of memory so if you only have 2 GB it would be slow. I find it hard to imagine you would though.

What about other programs or panes in Logos? Have you tried restarting your computer to clean up your memory. Tasks behind the scene? Antivirus, etc.?
