[solved] Re: [Jabref-users] why is jabref so slow on large databases ?

[Samuel T. <th...@po...>]

Hi all,

I encountered problems with Jabref, which was very slow during scrolling,
browsing accross tabs, etc. After checking my X-Window installation, I saw =
my
hardware acceleration wasn't yet active. After reinstallation of the correc=
t
drivers, jabref runs smoothly.

The same symptoms appears when running jabref with X-forwarding, due to 
the lack
of direct 2D rendering.

Thanks for your help !
