I have started using NewsGrazer lately. It's lovely to use, except that it's so darned slow. I can understand that things like fetching articles from the nntp server would be slow. However, just hitting a menu option to get a submenu takes 5 to 10 seconds. Editing this post is agony because it is so slow to update the window. It cannot keep up with my typing and loses a lot of what I input. So, how can this be? All these basic operations are in the Appkit - how did Adams contrive to make them so slow? Or is it just me - is there something I need to tweak in order to make the interactive performance adequate? I'm using version 2.0 release 72.2 on a 25MHz 68040 with 2.1. I have 20Mb memory and a 400Mb hard drive. I don't have any similar problems with other apps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stuart Staniford-Chen : stuarts@jeeves.ucdavis.edu Department of Physics : NeXT-Mail cheerfully accepted.
