[Moose-dev] using athens fonts is dead slow in roassal

Hi, Try this: [view := ROMondrianViewBuilder new. view shape label fontSize: [:x | x ]. view nodes: (10 to: 100). view open] timeToRun On my MacBookPro i7 2.6 GHz this takes 23s. The actual reason is that LogicalFont>>widthOfString: looks up the real font when the font is not yet cached. And this ends up looking for files on the disk. I do not know an easy way out, but as it is, we cannot use font scaling essentially. And because of that, visualizations like Annotation Constellation are not practicable anymore: http://www.themoosebook.org/book/externals/visualizations/annotation-conste… Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
