[EDIT]
I did some "scientific testing" with 1 to 13 opened grids, and it seems that there's not real difference between V.34 and V.36. The perceived difference doesn't seem to be translating to numbers in a way that's super meaningful. I'd have to test V33 and 32, and test more actions, but I don't have more time.
There's still an impression of slowness in some actions, but I only tested 1- marking as done, 2- unmarking as done, 3- inserting numbers in the item field, 4- deleting numbers. I did that on 50 items at once -- I could've use more, but... it means waiting longer between tests.
One thing is sure though : more opened grids = performance decrease. Maybe this is truer in V36, but I haven't got the time to measure that precisely.
Anyway, to be continued. I'll keep using v36 for now and take the slowness as some strange psychological effect...??
[/EDIT]
IQ is generally slower here. It became slower in the last 2-3 versions. Reverting to V.34 alleviates some of the slowness so I might stay there for now.
Symptoms:
- Popups related to personal VB scripts take longer to appear (scripts have been there for years, so it's not them)
- Checking items (marking as done or unmarking) etc. (especially when checking many at once) take a bit longer, and CPU chews numbers many many seconds after everything's done, slowing things down
- moving items around (moved a bunch of items yesterday, drag&drop, and CPU was calculating something for many seconds after -- no column equations or inheritance involved)
etc.
Enquiring to know why and what is happening in IQ would take me time I don't have, but... seems related to either the refreshing of grids and/or properties pane, and/or the way scripts are managed.
Most of the time actions are seemingly done, but grids takes many more seconds to update properly; I can see the check box being checked by groups of 5 or 10, in a chunky way. I already said (long long time ago) that auto-assigns equations performance was sub-optimal, but it seems a bit worse now -- I'd have to take my stopwatch and compare and I can't do that now.
PS : many grids are opened as usual, asI need them to be opened; my DB is bigger than most user (but still less than 1/4 of the theoretical max size) as I'm managing thesis stuff etc. in it; nothing has changed on my computer in the last couple months... I'm even delaying all updates as I became paranoid that something will brake my now relatively stable ecosystem :-)
