[Rosegarden-devel] performance reports

[Chris C. <ca...@al...>]

If you're working on or tracking the Qt4 stuff, can you give some idea
of how you're finding its performance?

I'm not talking about making it do any significant work, rather about
how it feels when first starting up, responding when not under load,
and updating the display during (for example) playback of an empty
document.

I'm finding it pretty unresponsive here, subjectively much slower and
draggier than the old Qt3 version, and I know that this is not just
something we should expect from Qt4 (I've been involved with enough
Qt4 software to know that it's not usually much slower than Qt3 and is
sometimes much faster).  Our Qt4 port needs to be subjectively as
quick as the old version, and we MUST NOT REST!!!!1!11@!@!!! until it
is.  Except of course for a good night's sleep every night, siestas,
and the odd light nap.
