Hi Alan I have just committed a change that deals with getting text size without two-way communication between the viewer and the driver. The text size is now performed entirely within the driver.
This significantly improves the qualitative responsiveness of running the examples. To compare, on my Windows system I created a shell script that just ran examples 01, 04, 08, 14, 16, 24 and 30 using -dev wxWidgets -np and another script that was identical but used -dev null Running these under Cygwin bash using time ./nameofscript.sh gave the following pre commit with -dev wxwidgets real 0m17.248s user 0m0.060s sys 0m0.262s post commit with -dev wxWidgets real 0m7.709s user 0m0.076s sys 0m0.260s with -dev null real 0m4.060s user 0m0.061s sys 0m0.292s So this has given more than a factor of two improvement for those examples and results in a time which is approximately a factor of two longer than doing no rendering at all. I would personally be quite happy with that given the overheads involved in executing the extra process and setting up the shared memory. I still haven't got easy access to my home Linux system as for some reason it will no longer connect to the internet (but will connect to the lan e.g. to load my router's setup page). I think I only have wxWidgets 2.8 on my work Linux machine so I need to build 3.0 to do a sensible comparison. If you want to check things out on your Linux box then please let me know the results.
