LiveCode Performance Examples
Dear List Members, Over the next few months, we'll be working on improving the performance of LiveCode. We'll be looking at all aspects of the product, but will be focusing particularly on the graphical side of things. Naturally, we have earmarked a few areas of the engine where we think can improve things. These have come primarily from our knowledge of the engine's internals. Whilst it's all well and good improving these areas, if they don't offer any real improvement to the end user, or the use case for the improvement is limited, there's little point in pursuing them. This is where you come in. We want to know how you use LiveCode and what areas you think can be improved on performance wise. Having real world examples of slowdowns and performance bottlenecks will allow us focus our energies on improving the correct areas. So, if you have any example stacks demonstrating where you have experienced poor performance in LiveCode, we'd really like to see them. Ideally they'd be stacks where the problem has been isolated allowing us to measure performance (and any subsequent improvements due to our work). But anything goes really. It can be surprising how such simple things can have a seemingly very large impact on the performance of an app. Either post your stacks to the list or, if you prefer, email them directly to me. We have no fixed agenda as to how we're going to approach this, so your input really will help direct our efforts. Many thanks, Michael -- *Michael McCreary .
