[Pdfedit-support] excellent but slow

[Roberto F. <foi...@gm...>]

Hi everyone, I just compiled the 0.3.1 on SuSe 10.2
It's wonderful, your software has nearly all the feature I was looking
for, but it's extremly slow on my dual core 1gb machine ...
I use the highlighter a lot and after the first couple of highlighting
it's no more very usable, in fact after you select the text with the
highlighter tool the text get colored but before you can highlight
something else you have to wait ... the cpu runs at 100% or so for 10
seconds or more and then finally you can use the program again and
highlight a new text.

Is this my problem only? Did I compiled wrong or missed some option?

Regards and best wishes  to all of you.
Roberto

I have the same if adding text - this is not your problem - apparently
there are still bottlenecks somewhere.
I really would like to help debugging, I can program a bit (Im a
embedded engineer), is there some extra debugging messages that I can
enable?

Yes, there are - see the
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=45D598CF.1070301%40suchdol.net&forum_name=pdfedit-support
thread. I am planning to do some minor changes for better string handling
which should increase a throughput a bit, but the main problem is still
(IMO)
in QSA which is  harder to solve.

The only way in the runtime is to set the debug level to the maximum (see
http://pdfedit.petricek.net/pdfedit.user_doc#id2500684).
Every help is welcome.
