Slow at browsing

Hello,

In Pharo 3.0 (and with Pharo 2.0), I noted an important slowness when
browsing importantly populated class.

For example, clicking on a method category of the Morph class, it takes
about 3 seconds to reveals its methods. With Pharo 1.4 it is immediate
with the same Morph class.

My computer is a slow dog but it is not a good reason for this slowness.

Hi Hilaire,

maybe profiling could show something. Nautilus could benefit from some
love in making it faster :)

I know that my browser, AltBrowser, is a lot faster on a slow machine
(x7 faster on startup time compared to Nautilus, x3 faster than the old
system browser). So it could be done.

(and Spur could give us a x2 boost on top of all those times :) :) )

Yes, help is always welcome.

There is a lot of caching going on, things should work faster after the first time.

It is rather a flat response time: in that part, it does not get faster
the more I browse and rebrowse on the same method category.

Maybe this one:

12535 To many updates on the methods list

You certainly seems to be onto something there. 12535? 12931 as well?

Looks like some have computers that are too fast to notice the slowdown ;)
