It doesn't :-). There's currently a lot of gradients being drawn that should be pixmap-cached instead (this is high on my to-do list as it's bothering me also). And we basically haven't made any attempts yet at performance tuning. It may be that oxygen in 4.0 will not be usable on low-end machines for this reason (I hope not, but given the available manpower...). > So maybe a redesign > is needed (yes that sucks, because it means that we won't have oxygen in > 4.0 and that the designers would throw away a lot of work). I don't think we need to do anything that extreme. Tuning should help quite a bit; there is a lot we can cut out for low-end machines. If that can't be done in 4.0, maybe we don't have oxygen as default in 4.0, but that's much better than no oxygen at all in 4.0. -- Mathew (sorry, .sig file is on the other computer)
