Was I talking from the perspective of adding things to the core, or from the perspective of somebody building something out of TiddlyWiki? It sounds like I was talking about adding too many view template segments. The “special” thing about view template segments is that they appear in every tiddler, and so if they take a long time to render the effects will be worse the more tiddlers that are open. Beyond that, it’s all just templates all the way down, and the performance trade-off remains that performance will generally get worse as the templates get more complex.

[tw5] What's not good with many viewtemplates?
I've heard cautions against using many viewtemplates, for performance reasons. But what, *specifically*, causes the poorer performance from this? For example, it doesn't make sense that it would be to locate the templates because it is still only one search trough *all *tiddlers regardless if the filter finds one template or a hundred (...right?) So is it rather what the viewtemplate shows that can be a problem? E.g if a viewtemplate has a lot of nested lists? ...but in that case, one such viewtemplate could be worse than 10 simpler viewtemplates so it would not warrant caution from using many viewtemplates *per se*. Or is the problem if there are *many open* tiddlers? Beacuse each of them shows all viewtemplates? So it is "N open tiddlers" times "M number of templates". But then the templates only deserves half the blame. Does the caution change when one uses "conditional viewtemplates", i.e viewtemplates with a wrapping listwidget like ... ? In summary: What is the actual problem with many viewtemplates? Thanks! <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
