[tw] Re: [TW5] Slow response and slow text entry - Win7, Firefox45, TW5.1.13

[Matthew Petty]

All of your questions are very good, and I realise I should have provided 
more infotmation.

TW5 file size: 4.2MB
No large image tiddlers (in fact I only use SVG for images)
3444 tiddlers
275 tags
135 system
1655 shadow
35 overridden
Animation duration is 0

I do use quite a few dynamic features. I need to look into that and see how 
to find them all and perhaps remove some.

have you updated to the latest version? 5.1.13?

['Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki]

TW isn't an indexed, scaleable technology. It has no database engine. Its 
performance will suffer depending on the size of the TW and capability of 
the hardware.

That said, hardware is continually improving, helping to compensate for 
software limitations. On my machine, the practical upper limit is around 10 
megs. On a Samsung 3 phone or tablet the upper limit seems around 6 megs. 
That's enough for one very large book or a small library of books.

One thing you can do is close out all your tabs and reboot FF so that all 
its resources will go to TW. If you pay attention to the Windows Task 
Manager, you'll notice that the longer you use FF the more it's memory 
hoarding increases. Giving it a clean start may help.

Good luck,
Mark

[@TiddlyTweeter]

As Jed & PMario indicate performance is dependent on a number of factors.

If we knew a bit more about the size of your TW, it contents & organisation 
we could likely suggest more concrete solutions.

Something they did not mention is "dynamism". IF you had a LOT of lists, 
filters etc that dynamically create Tiddlers it can slow things down. Also 
extensive use of tags can sometimes slow TW.

FWIW, the relationship between the size of a TW and its performance is not 
linear. It depends a lot on how its organised.

I'd be interested to know a bit more of YOUR use of TW. 

I think performance is an issue we should talk about more often. 

Best wishes
Josiah

Hi Matthew,

In addition to Jed's info. ... 

 - How big is your TW file?
 - How many tiddlers do you have? ... see ControlPanel: Info
 - did you include hue tiddlers. eg: 1MByte+ ... Images?

[Jed Carty]

Is it getting slower on your specific wiki or on an empty wiki also?

The only really general advice I have is:
* only have the tiddler you are editing open while editing. 
* hide the sidebar (or set it to a the Open tab, but that wouldn't be as 
effective)
* set the animation duration to 0 (I don't know if that would have any 
effect on text entry)
* in the tiddler $:/config/Drafts/TypingTimeout 
 set the 
value to something higher like 1000

I am not certain that any of those will do much to help, there may also be 
some plugins that can cause things to slow down, but not many of them do.
