so to come back to my  key original question: when will roassal will start to use for real existing infrastructure?
      
:-)
When we will have time and resources. Athens has been in a usable state only until recently, when Igor made his tutorial.
We are using Athens and we will continue to do so. More and more Athens will become the base of Roassal. It is just that it takes time.

    
When do you plan to really have a look and optimise (1) speed and (2) garbage generated?
      
Over the last weeks, Roassal went through a major optimization process. Roassal has pretty much all the optimization that ZVMT has (the library of Emmanuel, from INRIA). More has to be done I agree.
By the way, if the Synectique crew (or anyone else) find some particular situations that are judged as too slow, then we will make sure the slowdown get properly removed.

For the moment, Roassal's performance is better than that of Mondrian and that suffices us. In the meantime, what we can achieve with Athens are modern-looking apps. And the screenshots prove that. and If there is a gain of performance, that's a plus for us so that we prepare ourselves for huge graphs.
    

the problem with huge graph is that you get lost.
We should just use them to bench roassal.

  

Well, speaking hypothetically, it could be that only after getting lost in a huge graph do you realize you should produce a simpler graph, rather than blaming the platform and moving on.
