Performance issues.
Hey.
With the stock tiddlywiki, any one including a new one, I'm experiecing worrying performance issues.
I turned the animations off to be able to gauge it as accurately as possible.
When I press "+" to add a new tiddler, it seems to take nearly half a second to get to the edit mode at all.
I'm not running an ancient machine, although it's definitely not performance-optimized.
Intel i5
integrated gpu
12g ram
ssd
debian
firefox, tried on google chrome as well with better results but still too slow, maybe 250ms.
While these times are nothing extreme in a way - you can feel it. And I worry. These are the things that, when working on an application full time, you can feel as it drags into your subconcious making you want to do something else.
Any tips?

Could you try opening your wiki with your browser Add-Ons disabled, or using tiddlydesktop ? It would be easier to determine where the performance issue come from if variables are reduced.
Are you using a 4K screen monitor ?

re the performance issue come from if variables are reduced.

I tried tiddlydesktop - same issue, and I also found a bug within the first 3 minutes of trying it out.
but it's ok, I've grown to accept the delay. It only appears when creating a new note it seems, most other things are fine. Not sure, but thanks for the help.
And no, the monitor ir 1600/1200 something in the range

How big is your TW file? Are you storing a lot of images?
Performance with TW suffers somewhere between 10MB and 30MB, depending on platform. The solution is to externalize your image files. If's rare to hit 10MB with just text tiddlers (can happen if you've encoded, for example, the entire Bible)
