Hi,

I did a little experiment to check the performance of Rubric when dealing with large content. And by large, I mean 45 MB or about 15 million lines of text.

I opened the file in several other editors:

• TextMate: 10s + the text is wrapped and can be browsed smoothly
• Sublime Text 2: 10s + the text is wrapped and can be browsed smoothly
• Eclipse: 5s + browsing is very slow (so it is basically useless)

thanks doru this is really interesting.

How did Rubric perform:

• When opened with unwrapped lines: 33s + the text can be browsed smoothly
• When opened with wrapped lines -> Pharo crashed :(

In any case, I think being 3 times slower (even if without wrapping) than TextMate is highly exciting. Great job Alain.

I think that with more ironing and optimisation it will only get better! Thanks synectique http://www.synectique.eu for sponsoring the work of Alain and releasing it MIT.

If you want to reproduce the experiment, here is the Smalltalk snippet I used:

---

Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'AlainPlantec' project: 'Rubric'; package: 'Rubric-AlainPlantec.26'; load.

[ contents := ((FileSystem disk workingDirectory / 'src' / 'ArgoUML-0-34' / 'output.mse') readStreamDo: #contents). (RubLipsumBasicExample windowWithScrolledText: ( RubLipsumBasicExample new string: contents; newScrolledTextNotWrapped)) openInWorld ] timeToRun

---

Cheers, Doru

Thanx for benchmarking Rubric. Alain, is doing great work and I'll integrate in Glamour for a demo.
