[Devil-linux-develop] menuconfig speed

[Diego T. <dt...@co...>]

If we're using the same dialog support that the one available on the linux kernel... why our menuconfig is soooo slow?

pd.- please, don't kick me for asking this :))

Because nobody came up with a better idea so far. ;-)
We use the same dialog, but the concept behind the generation of the
dialogs is completely different and the kernel version won't work for us.

Because it re-executes the program every time you press "select".

Nah, it sucks.  You know it, I know it, I suspect others know it too. :)

I've thought about rewriting it to use the "dialog" I use in the "setup"
program, but that sounds like a lot of work, and there is other stuff
I'd rather do first.  Maybe someday ...
