Re: [orca-list] How to improve some apps speed with Orca

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Not significantly faster, as far as I can tell, Jude.

I am wondering how apps using the Qt5 toolkit behave.

I have installed Slackware64-current, will check in Plasma5.

The old Dolphin shipped is Slint-14.2.1 looks reasonably fast.

Cheers, Diider
