[orca-list] Lag in thunderbird when using large mailbox

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

Hello,
I know this has been mentioned before, but I have actually started 
noticing something else related to it which may improve performance. I 
have noticed that it takes a little bit of time for the Braille display 
to change when I move in the list of messages but there is another delay 
after the Braille changes before the speech is produced. I thought, 
could orca be retrieving the information twice (once for Braille and 
once for speech)? I just noticed when moving around that sometimes I can 
move it a few items (IE. press up twice) in such a way that Braille 
indicates the first message passed over on the first Braille change but 
the first speech output is for the second message.

My questions are: Have I worked out what's going on correctly? If so, 
wouldn't it be more efficient to only query selected message once and 
use that information for both Braille and speech?
