I've seen this come up from time to time on the forums - and Tones mentioned it recently How to make a more convenient method for selecting tags? (google.com) <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/mMFBKZ1tbAo/m/cE2Ys3yfBgAJ>
I agree with most of the points of where fields are more useful than tags as you get deeper and deeper into organization, and the methods make sense, but often there's talk about a performance implication that I don't understand, but am hoping to as I'm kind of a performance junkie. So my questions are: 1. Is the "bad" type of "tag pollution" related to number of unique tags, or number of tiddlers *with* tags? Or both? For example I use my main TiddlyWiki for project organization and most details are in fields, but almost every tiddler is tagged as either a task, project, meeting, etc. So, I have a small number of unique tags, but high number of tagged items. 2. What is the source of the associated negative performance impact? I assume it has something to do with indexing - and if so there's probably a speed vs. memory tradeoff. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
