BBEDIT FOR MAC 10.10 CODE
With regards to the Finder speed I'd lay really good odds this was due to replacing Carbon with Cocoa in it and making it 64bit while trying to maintain as much of the source code as possible. I think Don does a good job criticizing some of the simplistic answers (abandon the yearly release cycle, fewer features, etc.) It's well worth listening to for those wondering what's going on behind the scenes. Don Melton on the Debug podcast this week has a great discussion of these issues. It was pulled back because they didn't think it was ready. Apparently this rewrite has been going on for years and was nearly included in Lion.
I think a big issue with Yosemite is that they finally released their rewrite of DNS and some related network code. Let iOS and OS X digest the huge number of improvements they "suffered". But Apple should polish everything for at least one more year. Look how nicely it caches GB after GB of RAM, how it compresses it, and so on. I think that Yosemite is the best OS that was ever made, even when accounting to anything imaginable. Look at the difference in the number of processes between both OSes. I wonder if it's due to the overhead imposed by security, sandboxing of processes and all.Ĭlearly. (10.5 was not faster than 10.4 on PPC Macs, in my experience). Such regression is kind of sad after all the progress made from 10.0 to 10.4 (on PPC) and 10.6. This is visible when opening the application folder.Īpple has yet to fix whatever they did with Lion, which was a significant step back. In mavericks, they introduced the "icon server" process, which (I guess) is the cause of a slight delay in the display of file icons. The systems feels snappier.Īdded to that, the icons appear immediately in Snow Leopard. In 10.6, there is no such lag, and this has a visible impact on overall responsiveness. There's a slight lag (that disappears if VSync is disabled in Quartz Debug). If you grab a window by its title, move it around in small circles and follow the mouse pointer closely, you'll see that title doesn't stick to the mouse pointer.
BBEDIT FOR MAC 10.10 WINDOWS
The window corner doesn't lag behind the mouse cursor, not even by a single frame.Įven dragging windows around is quicker.
I have to say that the Finder is significantly more responsive than that of Mavericks and of Yosemite (a fortiori).
BBEDIT FOR MAC 10.10 PRO
I had to boot Snow Leopard on my venerable Mac Pro (and on my 2008 MBP). (I know I've tried writing some)īack to responsiveness. You need some kind of AI to do it but many documents don't have enough text to do it accurately. It doesn't use embodied actions though and it horrible achilles heel is that it depends upon tagging documents. I like the tag mode to avoid the clutter. That's exactly what Raskin does but I think it'd only be of interest to a very small group who primarily work on image like documents. Maybe a huge virtual 2D tree view of the entire (user-relevant) folder structure, that the user could zoom/pan over? Such a thing would have been impossible to implement in a useful fashion when the classic spacial Finder was being designed, but we've got multitouch gestures and computers that can render complex graphics at 60 fps, so we've got a few more options now. For one thing, the space you're organizing things in can't be the physical space provided by the screen, because that's not consistent anymore. I think if you want to resurrect spacial file management for the modern era, you need to rethink things at a pretty basic level.
