Thanks for your email :)
This message is mainly for Igor, who probably already curses every time he sees my name on the development list. But, perhaps others have had some experience with this as well.
No igor is not like that.
He loves to see people using what he did and improving in case so please continue.
This is the best motivation for igor.
I'm still working on moving my touch applications to Athens. I am running into a major problem with icons. My applications tend to have quite a few icons in them. In the old BitBlt versions, I just used forms for the icons. That same approach fails with Athens as form rendering is time consuming. With just ten medium-sized forms open in my AthensWrapMorph, the system starts to crawl. My guess is that form rendering needs to be sped up before Athens can be widely adopted. Using the form as a paint, while flexible, seems pretty intense.
Yes because the buffer is copied several times around. Igor and Ronie started laste thursday an effort to see how to shortcut all the buffers to speed up the system.
