Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Further performance improvement with more caching mechanisms

Hi David,

Glad to hear about your experiment results! It is great to know that
the program runs smoothly on older machines too.

Tim: should I move onto PNG -> SVG conversion phase, now that we have
achieved most of our objectives of program optimization? It might be
interesting to see what problems may occur as more images are in SVG.
What is your opinion?

Cheers
Wenyuan
