Cool. Is this related to HaikuDepot's unresponsiveness at times. It's
not always the case, but often when I enter a search term, the
HaikuDepot window freezes, pegs one core and ... erm... does
/something/ for many seconds.
Icon-updates are done in a separate thread. This one only locks the
model for a very short time each time an icon is already fully
downloaded and ready to replace what was there before. And when it
actually blocks on the lock, you wouldn't notice since it means the icon
update is blocking, not the UI.
Searching on the other hand is done within the window thread and blocks
the UI from resonding until the results are shown. That should be
improved, but is a separate problem.
Best regards,
