Hi, The wiki said that I should mail the list after posting a patch to trac, so here I am. Description from trac: "When the openlayers map is dragged around, a lot of events are sent, and the map is updated on every one of them, which takes quite some time. Because of this, the map feels slow, especially on old computers. This can be solved by creating a short timeout when the event is received, which will update the map a little later. Any events inbetween are ignored.
I created a patch with a possible way to implement this. It passes the unit tests and it appears to work well in most browsers (tested in Firefox 2, Opera 9.5 Beta and IE 6 (IEs for Linux)). If you run the two versions side by side, you can really feel a difference. The updateMap-method in my patch would probably be more logical as an anonymous function in the timeout-call, but then a the function would have been created every time the timeout is created instead of only once when OSM is loaded. I don't know the code structure in OpenLayers very well, so there might be better ways to implement it." It was pointed out that maybe the ticket was created under the wrong component. I have no idea, so I'll have to ask some of you whether it is in the right position, and if not, where it should be. The wiki also said that I should state clearly that I wanted the patch reviewed, so, ehm... I want the patch reviewed. _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
