I decided to build an old edje to make sure that the slowness was due to something new in edje itself. (I used the repo from May 20, 2004 -- the day I left for germany, and the last time i _know_ things were working quicker). Since SWALLOW parts weren't around back then, I had to change them to rects and rebuild the eet. Sure enough, everything was quick again. Now, after switching back to the newest edje, things were still quick, as long as I used the eet built with the old version.
So, that leads me to believe that the problem is in edje_cc. I'll look into it a bit more... (although I still don't get the "edje app vs. other app." speed discrepency).
For now, any elicit users out there can get: http://rephorm.com/files/summer-faster.eet

While working on elicit, I've noticed some strange slowness with edje. First off, a demonstration: 1) download: http://rephorm.com/files/eon-summer.tar.gz 2) unpack, make and run it. 3) click on the + (observe the speed of it opening up) 4) click on the third tab, and move the scrollbar up and down observe the speed of this (and the cpu usage!) 5) now, run 'edje summer.eet' and repeat steps 3 & 4. its much faster and doesn't display inordinate cpu usage while scrolling.
Now, eon simply creates an ecore window and displays the supplied .eet file. (This is modified from the one on xcomp.org; I added a background object and turned off shaping,etc to eliminate these as slow-down factors).
I first noticed the slowness in elicit itself, and tried it out in eon to make sure it wasn't something in the elicit code. Before doing this, I did notice that the text objects in the color value (first) panel seem to be the largest contributor to the slow speed. They all have fixed sizes (both bounding box and font sizes, with 'fit' not turned on). So, maybe the edje font code could be optimized a bit, HOWEVER, first off I would like to figure out what the edje app itself does differently than eon. (The speed difference is dramatic).
I guess Raster is still out of town, but I figured I'd get this on the list while its fresh in my mind... Any help is appreciated.
