Re: [orca-list] Sluggishness in Orca

[Brandon Tyson <brandongold98 gmail com>]

Hello,

Even if you get a better computer that won't always help.

Another user has a system with 6 gb of RAM and there's still lag with it.

But the voice type panel lag is definitely something that didn't exist before.

Thanks,

Brandon
