I don't think this is it, because my computer only has one drive and that's 
an SSD.  And it has a lot of empty space left.

Re: Excessive Typing Lags

2022-07-15 Thread Jacob Peck 
I have noticed similar behavior on Windows 10, but only under extremely 
specific circumstances that I have been able to figure out.

I have a ‘storage spaces’ disk pool on my system — essentially a RAID 1 pool in 
everything but name.  This is backed by 2x 6TB 7200 RPM a mechanical hard 
drives.  Windows has a habit of spinning those drives down when the pool is not 
in use.  When I’m working on a Leo outline that lives on that pool, or 
referenced a file somewhere on that pool, and the pool has spun down, Leo (and 
anything else trying to access those disks) can freeze for a solid 20 seconds 
while Windows spins up the drives.

So… in my case, it’s definitely a Windows thing — specifically it not playing 
well with mechanical drives in 2022 — so I’m not sure if this will help you at 
all.  But I do find anecdotally that running the ‘OptimizeDrive’ PowerShell 
command on the pool does seem to make spin-ups a bit zippier for a week or so.  
But that could definitely be placebo/confirmation bias, too.

Excessive Typing Lags

2022-07-15 Thread tbp1...@gmail.com 
Has anyone noticed annoying lags when typing into a Leo body?  This is on 
Windows.  I can't reliably reproduce the behavior, but suddenly I type and 
nothing will happen for 1/4, 1/2, even 1 second.  Then it will catch up.  
It seems to be most likely to happen when the focus changes, such as 
selecting a different node or switching to another window then back to 
Leo.  But not always.

This behavior has been getting more frequent, it seems to me.  I suspect it 
has something to do with later Windows 10 updates, though I can't be sure.  
I also have experienced Windows apparently eating the first keystroke after 
I change focus - nothing to do with Leo, it even happens sometimes with the 
command.exe console.

I've tried briefly with a Linux VM and not gotten these lags, but it may be 
like a watched pot that never boils.
