Thierry, Onil, I rounded up my experiments with a 2nd commit on my experimental branch:
=== Name: Roassal2-SvenVanCaekenberghe.720 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 5 February 2015, 3:40:43.211681 pm UUID: 121ffc22-4a30-4153-bef1-e019a92862bc Ancestors: Roassal2-SvenVanCaekenberghe.719 Experimental branch. Second version. Some more changes after discussing with Thierry @ Pharo Days and hours of experimenting Added TROSMTileProvider>>#cachedTileNamed: and #memoryCachedTileNamed: Rewrote/simplified TROSMShape>>#getTile: to no longer fork a 'get tile' process when the tile is cached in memory or on the file system Removed all hacks trying to optimize the number of times #signalUpdate was called - made no difference. Tried several logging approaches but that did not reveal anything special. The observed slowdown for tiles in the file cache but not the memory cache is still there, even though loading about 10 tiles takes less than 40 ms (see #testEmptyMemoryCacheParisLevel7) === Summary, it should be faster, but it is not. Forking and network downloading are gone, each of about 10 tiles takes less than 4 ms, the total observed slowdown is still about 1 to 2 seconds - with no extra #signalUpdate. I don't know why and I don't understand. I hope somebody can have a look, I feel that we can/should make this better still.
