Hi It depends greatly on the machine used. On my dual-core, 2.4ghz Macbook with 4gb of ram it does not happen, and I've used ORca on a single-core pentium 2.4ghz with 1gb of ram and not had the problem. However, on my netbook running at 1.66ghz with 2gb of ram, single-core, Orca will often cause such a typing lag in Firefox that filling out forms can become a chore. If I turn on powersave mode, which lowers the speed down to 1.0 ghz and drops the fsb speed, the problem is even worse. This happens both with Orca 2.26.1 and Firefox 3.0.9 and with the latest git pull and the Firefox 3.6 nightly builds, though it seems to be somewhat less of a lag in the nightly builds. It's still definitely noticeable though, and depending on the type and configuration of your machine you may not encounter it. On Fri, 2009-05-08 at 20:33 +0530, Krishnakant wrote:

Try typing into an edit field on a slower machine, for example, and see how far it lags behind your actual typing...I find that this seldum happens, although off late that has reduced to a very great extent. But I certainly face this problem when I use evolution and had reported this earlier. Strangely enough though, I compiled both orca and evolution from source on ubuntu jonty and even this problem has got reduced. happy hacking. Krishnakant.
