Re: [Gramps-devel] Possible new PersonView

[Mike B. <mi...@br...>]

Anything that speeds up the dispaly of names is good to me.  I have in 
excess of 10,000 names in my file and probably 80+ percent are 4-5 
variations of the same surname.  So, waiting for "B" tab to be displayed 
takes more time than is worth waiting for.  As always I apopreciate the 
advances you guys are making here!!
