The big change in this preview is when updates to the screen occur. Previously when you pressed a key there would be one update to the display, but now a flag is set and a timer in the background updates the screen if an update has been requested at a periodic interval. This allows multiple key strokes to be processed by the periodic update.
Very nice, Brendan : so your method is the followingthe user press a key. there is no update directly but a flag is set true indicated there is a modification but nothing happens. at T (ms) press X, at T +dt (ms) press Y. at T= 30 ms for exemple, a timer in background is launch. so there is an update of string = "XY". There is a scrutation of the keyboard at a periodical interval (for exemple : 30 ms). So it's possible to allows multiple key strokes to be processed by the periodic update.
My question is the following : you obtains 6x speed increase. This is very nice.Is it possible to customise the periodical update (for exemple 15 ms rather than 30 ms for the timer)
In the next futur, Apple inc and PC will run with more speed ( Penryn and nehalem processors). It will be very nice to modify the time interval of the timer according to the plateforme.
Thanks Patrick Santoni from Paris/France
