Hi List, My BibDesk seems slow. There doesn't seem to be much mention of this on the mailing list, except one mention that having Date fields displayed could slow it down. That doesn't seem to be the issue.
It takes ~4 seconds for operations that touches the .bib file. This includes New Publication (CMD+N), Delete item (Backspace), or Save (CMD+S). The following is fast: It takes ~1 second to search, and less than that to sort, even on date columns. I've tried disabling most columns, with no change in speed. I'm running the latest nightly, and have 2600 entries in my Bib file, which is 4.8 MB and saved with Unicode UTF-8 format. I have no Abstracts in the Bib file to keep it smaller. My computer is a bit old - 2009 MacBook Pro, but it has an SSD and 8 GB of RAM, and every other app is responsive. Do any of you have similar response times? If so, what size file, how many entries, and what hardware? Thanks, -k. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
