I'm not seeing this behavior. It may shed some light if you run the profiler. You can do that by setting the PLTDRPROFILE environment variable (to anything), starting up DrRacket, opening a file in a tab, clicking "start" in the profiling window, and then closing the tab. The profiling window should fill up with some helpful information.
One way to run with the environment variable set is via the command-line: env PLTDRPROFILE=1 drracket Thanks, Robby On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 10:51 PM, Erik Dominikus <[email protected]> wrote: > On my machine, DrRacket 5.3 [3m] (built from source package) looks like > waiting for something for about 5-10 seconds when closing a tab that has > a file open in it.
