The current way around this is to keep something running at all times that's active. You can use a real simple shell script even: #!/bin/sh while : do echo "background process" done It's kind of obnoxious, but it is, right now, the only way to make things go faster. On Mar 25, 10:43 am, BrianRo

Same build/system. Ubuntu running Firefox 3.0.7, and JSSH 0.9. I think it's time to build a new Linux system and see if it's relative to the build of Firefox. I'll get on that, just in case... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscri

I've seen similar resuls with putting a little delay in the read_socket().. I thinks it's a resourse issue in where the OS is polling till it's free. It just happens to be with a litle delay there's less polling for the file descriptor IO. The read_socket is waiting on data hence the dela

Something amusing about this issue. I noticed, by pure chance, that if I move another window around while the test is running, the typing goes faster. So if I rapidly move a window left to right, over and over, the tests I do complete really quickly. Once I stop moving the window, it goes back to

FF 3.0.5. Not sure if that would make a difference and am not sure at what point i saw it stop happening. If i have some spare cycles, I will see if i can step back and see what versions caused the slowdown. On Mar 11, 5:15 pm, Aedorn Varanis wrote: > Then we need to figure out what is different

Then we need to figure out what is different between your install, and our install. Are you running under Linux or Windows? And if it's Linux, did you do a global or per-user install of the jssh extension? On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 5:43 AM, bwaybandit wrote: > > i have FF3 and jssh 0.9 and do not

I'm running into the same issue but on Firefox 3. Slow characters being typed (about 1 a second as mentioned.) However, I have a Firefox 2.0 machine that flies through. The only different is the version of JSSH, and the version of Firefox. It's JSSH 0.1 ... so ... really old in comparison to 0.9.
