Is it just me or is HC 2.0 incredibly slow? I've been playing with it just a little bit on my SE at home and on my IIcx at work and it just seems to crawl compared to 1.2.X. Any benchmarks out there? (Sorry if they've been published recently, I got sick of reading all the 2.0 bug reports and haven't been reading for about a month or so). Mikey. Body by Nautilus...Brain by Macintosh

Try this experiment at home (I used an SE): With version 1.2.#: Create a new stack with an empty background. Put on 32 bg fields. Click in a few fields. With version 2.0 Convert the new stack to 2.0 Click in a few fields. Notice the time lag (in SECONDS!) between the time you click and the time the cursor appears in the fields for 2.0. Frankly, I'm not sure if the benefits of 2.0 are worth the cost. Cheers, -Ken K -- Ken Konecki "Eat well, stay fit, and die anyway" e-mail:kenk@tellabs.com -or- ...!uunet!tellab5!kenk

Try this experiment at home (I used an SE): > With version 1.2.#: > Create a new stack with an empty background. > Put on 32 bg fields. > Click in a few fields. <ditto for 2.0> Better still, write a button that sequentially "clicks at the loc of card field i" for all fields, and times it using "the seconds". Results - running on an SE under MonoFinder (HC2 is slower with competition from other Apps/DA's) for 36 card fields: HC 1.2.5 25 seconds HC 2.0 77 seconds 3.08 times longer. If I lock the screen it takes 79. If I background it under MultiFinder, it takes 10 ??????
