Re: [orca-list] Sluggishness in flat review



Thanks Justin.

The fact that "powersave" makes Orca sluggish depresses me. So I'll still see if I can shave a little processing time off flat review.

I found the problem, and it wasn't related to Orca. I'm running tlp (power management script), which by default sets the CPU performance governor to "powersave". When I connected my computer to AC, the lag went away. To be thorough, I disabled Braille (on battery) and still noticed the lag. Sorry for the confusion!

Hi,

Still running Orca from master, per my original post. I've attached debug output. Some of the processing times for generation are above 0.2s, is that typical? It's a small amount of time, but pretty noticeable here. Also, there appears to be an issue communicating with brltty, even though it's running, I'm in the brlapi group, and am getting Braille output. Not sure what's going on there, but I wonder if I'm missing a needed package.

Hi Justin.

Like José, I'm not seeing any sluggishness with the situation you
describe. In fact, Orca's quite responsive for me. If you're able to
test Orca master, that would be great. Failing that, mind capturing me a
full debug.out so that I can see where Orca is spending extra time?

Thanks!
