Congrats guys!

I'm a Macintosh/LinuxPPC user. I compiled the whole Gnome2 distro
(using Garnome) and the MrProject 0.8 on my Yellow Dog Linux 2.3.

Gnome2 was tricky to compile but MrProject was no trouble. I am very,
very impressed with what you have done and I am looking forward to the
final version. I will try a port to Mac OS X (darwin - probably using
fink package manager - fink.sourceforge.net) unless someone beats me to
it (gnome2 hasn't been ported yet to I will have to wait for that
because that is too much work for 1 guy).

One thing I was wondering... MrProject 0.8 becomes real slow as the
project gets bigger (date modifications using the calendar becomes
really, really slow - several seconds are needed just to change year,
date or month). I looked at the recent posts on the list archive but
didn't find anything. Is that a platform problem (ppc vs intel) or did
I mess up something? My machine is not recent but it is not antique
either (PowerBook G3 500) and is running most apps at a decent speed...

Many thanks for making this app!

I got the same trouble on linux/intel: with a resonably large
project (about 100 tasks), it's getting really slow. I guess
there are several troubles:
- lacks some optimization in the code since it's under construction
(striping some debug code and so on)
- there are (rares) cases when the project is not re-scheduled and it
should be, and (more) cases when the project is re-scheduled and it
should not (no change that can have impact on scheduling)

I did not yet investigate further.

Benjamin.

Yeah, we haven't really done any optimization yet, but there are a few
really obvious things that will speed up things a lot for large
projects. I'll try to do that as soon as possible.
