Thanks, Nice answer! I trust you and suppose that performance won't be sacrificed easily when a new feature is added or faster CPUs become available. At the end, can you explain more about these please: 1- You didn't notice that even "file-roller" was not as fast as expected (e.g. compared to WinRAR); Isn't it due to its dynamic resize of extraction menu (loading the cpu for doing so)? Additionally, why "file-roller" doesn't show a progress bar instead of a swapping bar? A swapping bar may be attractive, but a progress bar may be necessary, especially for long archives. 2- You repeatedly criticized about my style of posting. I always use my best effort to make emails clearer and more effective. For this purpose, I join the broken lines again and avoid the repetition of my own posts in the middle of your replies. This work takes often a long time and I do spend this time in order to prepare a clear, error-free writing. I never claimed that this was the best way, but, I wonder you hate anything other than your usual way! Can you please describe in details that what annoying problem was with my posts? I always try to have no slangs, no grammatical, spelling or punctuation faults, and minimum interjections. Are cumulative lines like below (see between the #### lines) good for you? Even now, before your response, I apologize for some of my writings if was not likable for you. Thank you for your notice, Bahram Alinezhad, Tehran, Iran. ############################################ On Friday 08 October 2004 18:11, Ken Schneider wrote: > On Fri, 2004-10-08 at 16:00, Allen wrote: > > On Friday 08 October 2004 15:50, Ken Schneider wrote: > > > > That was my main motive. > > > > > 3.

The subject of profiling and speeding Gnome up has come up on desktop-devel-list recently: have a look in the archives for the subject line "Goals for 2.10 - desktop-wide profiling". Incidentally, Gnome and KDE are not the whole of the OS. I don't know a lot about this. I do know that there are good ways and bad ways to demonstrate speed problems, but that's about it. Which is why I haven't replied. But since I too tend to want much more performance without upgrading my hardware, the subject does interest me. Of course, I also want translations, Pango, and lots of other stuff, too :) > Content-Description: rating-decompress.txt > KDE: 600 times slower in bzip2! You know that you are posting this to gnome-list, yes? We can't do a lot about konsole and konqueror unless it turns out that they share a problem with fileroller... I am not sure where the discussion about what results to profile and how to interpret them ended up. But no, the subject hasn't been forgotten. Trust me, some of us have been making posts about low-end machines for a long time, and have every interest in trying to help. But posting multiple "see also my other posts coming to this list" emails may not be the best way to proceed. It is possible that no-one who read them had any way to interpret them, time to look at the code, or any useful suggestions. Searching the gnome-list and desktop-devel-list (and other) archives for "profiling" "speed ups" "slowdown" and similar strings may help. Similarly, bugzilla is certain to have open bugs which are relevant. I know it does, because I filed some of them :) Telsa __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
