@soller Your constant focus on top optimization & performance at every level and for any tool is something way too rare nowadays. 30 years ago, when computers were 1000 slower if not more, user experience was nowhere near a 1000 slower... Seeing 2024 computers offering a 2024 snappiness is gold.
@emeric Well... I have run the COSMIC editor on a processor even older than 25 years ;-)
I definitely believe old computers shouldn't be slowed down by new code.
@soller @emeric Is it OK if it's a CPU from 2016 that FEELS like it's 25 years old? :P
For perf testing my creations, I have a hand-me-down mini PC built around a Celeron J3160 and I can confirm that its twice-as-fast brother (Celeron J3455) with half the RAM (4GB instead of 8GB) is still only 2/3rds the speed of the Athlon II X2 270 from 2011 that I recently upgraded off of. (The J3160 is apparently 1.1x as fast as a RasPi 4.)
