I'm seeing about 80% less power on a mid-2012 Macbook Air with a 2GHz Core i7 for Evernote vs. Turtl. I'm guessing more parallelization is even more beneficial

- mrmondo 11y agoIf it is a JS app of some kind that would make sense, I've been ranting a lot about JS apps recently so I won't go into it here - needless to say they're anything but efficient in my experience. Edit: Also, I should note that I have many hundreds of notes in Evernote, where I created 15-20 in this app, I would have expected Evernote to need more resources to search such a large number of notes. ~/Library/Application Support/com.evernote.Evernote % du -sh . 608M .
- orthecreedence 11y agoTurtl stores all notes in what amounts to Chrome's IndexedDB engine (encrypted...no plaintext data is stored on disk). So it really comes down to the efficiency of IndexedDB's storage engine when translating notes to disk space. We do utilize multiple core when encrypting/decrypting, but things like indexing and searching all take place on the same thread the app runs on. This is something that could be improved in the future.
