We just pushed 0.5.1pre2 and am planning to push 0.5.1 tomorrow. (Note 0.5.1pre2's suggestion list flickers/moves around a lot, but this has already been fixed for the final 0.5.1.)
The perceived "slowness" is actually a combination of a few different phenomena... one of the major ones (the actual parser performance + nountype detection tracking, to be exact) has been markedly improved in 0.5.1... another (the speed of canceling a query when changing input) is something we hope to attack for 0.5.2. mitcho > > Reason enough to push another beta then. > > On Jul 16, 3:31 pm, Sudhir <[email protected]> wrote: >> I updated to 0.5.1 beta but the issue of slow response remains.
